In my opinion, writing can still be a viable means of activism for BIPOC in the present-day United States. Activism, no matter what form, is still viable because it further broadcasts the voices of the oppressed. Almost any way that spreads awareness is viable to activism because attention is needed. The larger number of people reached, the more action that can be taken, and more support can be offered. In the age of social media, marches, and news reports, formal writing is still necessary to reach those that are removed from today\u2019s age; those that prefer to read and form their own opinions. People still look for writers for empowerment, especially if they\u2019re somewhat famous or have a fan base, so they can spread awareness through their pieces. Many people have been moved by pieces written by authors which lead them to be a part of a movement or support one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing is still a reasonable form of activism even in present-day America because writing is in everything. It\u2019s needed for the articles that inform others and are posted on the web and social media accounts, it\u2019s in the instagram posts that calls on people to take action, it\u2019s used for the speeches given at thousands of marches, and it\u2019s in the scripts for the news anchors that deliver to millions of people. Writing invokes thoughts, feelings, and inspiration, all things essential for movements and activism as a whole. Writing is an eternal means of liberation because writing in itself is eternal, writing is how we communicate, share information, connect, explain, teach, and more. As long as activism is necessary, writing will be necessary as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
