Online Activism

This week in class, we explored online movements as a class and then chose our topics for our second collaborative assignments. I am excited to do this project because my group’s topic is teen suicide, a very serious topic that many people are affected by but, can be uncomfortable to discuss. There are so many resources and organizations that have put out helpful resources, research, and data. Many celebrities that have spoken out about how this cause has affected them personally. To go more into what we discussed in class, it was the black lives matter movement. I was very surprised to see how many different resources our class could come up with. I was under the naive impression that there were maybe only a couple organizations that had that cause. There were hundreds of organizations and companies that are supporters and advocates. It really goes to show how easily one can become involved.
