These articles really demonstrate the importance of activism on social media. It’s a way to spread messages about activism and share knowledge, hold institutions accountable for their wrongdoings (such as with the case of Michael Brown), and it allows individuals to discuss social and political issues. Considering the current state of the world (and especially America), promoting activism is crucial. All people need to learn (and teach others) how to fight systems of injustice and have an open dialogue with those around them, share information about upcoming events, and more.
