Welcome Emma from Folk to Folk in this new installment of our Map of the Week. Folk to Folk is an independent documentary project exploring how the inclusive spirit of folk music helps build communities and creates accessible, participatory spaces across America today. We are happy to see how people are using CartoDB to create story-telling sites - and stay tuned because we’ll have news in this front soon! Meanwhile, enjoy the story of how Folk to Folk was made.

Physicians for Human Rights (@P4HR) is an independent organization that uses medicine and science to stop mass atrocities and severe human rights violations. They are supported by the expertise and passion of health professionals and concerned citizens alike. We welcome Elise Baker to tell us about how they have created this comprehensive map.

On Monday, May 19th at 7PM we are going to be getting together for happy hour in NYC. This will be a fun time for us to meet with some of our awesome users and chat with anyone interested in maps, technology, or what we do at CartoDB. We have an awesome user community in NYC, so we love any opportunity to bring them together.
