Social media allows many people to come together as a group and unite as one to fight for something they believe in. “34% of Americans have taken part in a group on social media that shares an interest in an issue or cause” (1) I found this quote pretty interesting, I feel like more Americans have taken part in activism on social media. Throughout the past year there were many causes that were all over social media, especially Black Lives Matter. One thing I found interesting about activism on social media is how many people can get behind a movement a bond together over a post. Social media gives a voice to everyone, even those who may be unrepresented without social media. I think it is really cool how a hashtag can unite a bunch of different activist posts together and create a stronger movement just with a hashtag.
