A German street artist's campaign has launched a movement to honor Edward Snowden by renaming a Berlin street after the NSA whistleblower. Artist Jörg Janzer papered over street signs with 'Snowden Strasse,' or 'Snowden Street,' inspiring the creation of Snowdenstrasse, an organization which aims to rename the street where the American embassy in Berlin is located.
