Today’s New York Times featured a full-page ad from an organization affiliated with the Occupy Gezi protests commemorating the life of Berkin Elvan, a 15-year-old boy who was killed by a police teargas canister during a demonstration. The group, called Gezi Democracy Movement, funded the ad on Indiegogo. In June of last year, the group funded a similar ad in the Times, urging readers to stand in solidarity with the protesters.

NYT Ad for Gezi and Berkin Elvan. Money for both ad campaigns were raised on the internet. More or less the same organizers spearheaded the campaigns.
