About SLACR

Our goal is to promote free speech and open access.

We believe that Second Life is full of opportunity. We want to make those opportunities clear to every Resident in SL.

We call on Linden Lab to add a clear, click-through notice whenever a resident enters a mature area.

Our graphic is bold and obvious, a reminder of “red-light” districts that exist around the world.

About the SLACR Team

The SLACR team began as a student group in the CyberOne class at Harvard Extension School. We are not University students – we come from many backgrounds and many countries. All of us work full-time; some of us have families of our own.

You may have met us already in Second Life. If not, feel free to look us up!

crislc Amdahl -- "brainiac"
(blog)

An un-certified geek, Cristos finds the CyberOne class so interesting because it teaches how to turn class concepts into direct action. The SLACR Campaign is a textbook example of how to do that -- at least, it would be if there were any textbooks on the subject.

Off-world, Cristos works as an Information Architect/Usability Designer for a market research company in Cambridge, MA. In addition to coordinating the SLACR campaign, Cristos has been trying to absorb LSL through osmosis. If you've signed the petition at the SLACR Kiosk, then you've seen some of his work. He is enrolled in the CyberOne class through Harvard Extension school.

Tempus Folsom -- "vox"

Tempus has traveled many careers and paths, and honed his skill with clear and direct communication in all of them. He produces almost all of the content you'll find on this site, and is a master of applying empathic argument techniques to both the written and spoken word.

In addition to offering his writing & recording skills, Tempus originally suggested the idea for the SLACR Campaign. He is an enrolled student in the CyberOne class at Harvard Extension School.

Ken Hudson is an artist and media consultant from Toronto, Canada whose works explore the intersection of technology and the individual. He is currently establishing a SL presence for Loyalist College in Canada, as well as pursuing his own creative works (available at http://flyingdogshow.com).

Ken is not an enrolled student in the CyberOne class, but is very pleased to join as an "At-Large" participant. He generously offered his help to the SLACR Campaign, and is responsible for the idea of our "red light" icon. He also produced the SLACR logo for this website and the SLACR kiosk.
