This semester we learned about many topics within Civic Media. Some important topics that were outlined this semester were mobilization and recruitment, clicktivism and KONY 2012, external and internal mobilization, various types of street art and activism, the walls of Buenos Aires, the Black Church’s role in providing support to the civil rights movement, hip-hop music in the Obama Era, celebrities and their roles in social movements, the LGBT movement, people falling into homelessness, and incarceration and its correlation with poverty. For the final project my group worked on the Me Too Movement. The Me Too movement has to do with raising awareness for those woman who have suffered from sexual harassment and sexual assault. I hope I can get involved with taking action in this movement to help young, beautiful strong women who have suffered from this sort of trauma. I believe it is very important to always be there for one another no matter what and always be kind because you never truly know what someone is going through. I always try and put my best foot forward and by getting more involved with this movement and raising awareness for these woman, I think it will put on a positive light for myself as well as the rest of the world that sees it.
