At the expense of being captain obvious, given the limited amount of time in your hands, which I assume is the case, you could provide a visually appealing, intuitive CMS for documenting and providing intelligence for the people involved in the resistence. Also, as you have indicated the proven usefulness of articles written, photographs and videos shared, it could likely as well provide a portal for these material to be managed in a central location.
I wouldnt do anything because I believe the protests have been subverted by opposition political forces.

While the protests over the removal of green wedges are honourable, I think at the heart of the issue is that the traditionally elite, educated, secular middle class is unhappy and feeling threatened by the growing power and wealth of the historically poor, religious underclass.

This is a protest of power and privlidge and I don't believe people are spending the appropriate time understanding all the issues at hand. I think the protests have been very succesfull at selling an image which I dont believe is necessarily correct.

I could be mistaken though.

Do any of these people look like the elite to you?

They are possibly better educated than the masses who repeatedly voted for Erdogan.

What power? Which privilige? What image? And what makes you believe what you believe?

Why don't you stop trying to smear these people and make your point, if you have one?
