Social Media Accounts

This is a sampling of a few young activists on social media. Explore the accounts below, or do your own exploring. Social media gives people a space to voice their opinions and be heard, and it's a great platform to learn about issues and ways to get involved. This also helps to show you that there are many ways to be an activist---creating social media content, writing poetry, making films, holding protests, speaking to elected officials. There is no wrong way to have a voice, and no action is too small! Content like talking about ways to reduce waste, cook more at home, make art, think critically about issues in the, discuss identities, talk openly about mental health, and more is all activism!
