Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality

Description

Dr. John Fallow, Dr. Cynthia Sayles, and Donald Huke charge into the Press Room, maps unfurled like battle flags, demolishing Mercator Projection's imperialist deceptions—Greenland deflates from Africa's colossal fourteenfold rival to puny footnote. Backed by 4300 dues-paying members, they blitz C.J. with fervent pleas for Peters Projection legislation, yanking continents northward into 'truth,' jolting Josh's smug certainty into wide-eyed chaos. Josh mocks their zeal to Sam as absurd diversion amid White House grind, yet their presentation ignites perceptual earthquakes, demanding federal maps reflect social equality over colonial distortions.
