Discussion Post Topic (choice one): Writing as Activism

Writing is and still can be a viable means of activism for the BIPOC community in the United States. Even if social media has become the new newspaper, writing still has a big impact on activism because writing is not only done on paper, it can also be done virtually. We can communicate our thoughts and work through social media that people can read. If anything, writing has become a very accessible tool in activism through social media. Just like Bambara’s writing was a form of activism, the same can still be done today. Organizations such as the NAACP often use social media to share their work and activism. Journalists also still write important information that can be accessed through social media as well (articles, documents, etc.). Though writing is no longer as traditional as it was in the past, writing still and always will be a viable means to activism.
