Before this class I had heard of activism, I feel like have heard of this word at least once in our life. many of the things we have today like laws were all passed because of an activism movement. just now in my English class I’m learning about the activism movement of Martin Luther King, rosa parks, and many more. how in a time of segregation he fought to have that law lifted cause we should all be treated equal no matter our skin color. in this class reading the excerpts from “how to think like an activist” made me think more in about what should be done and what it takes. many women have taken the initiative to start a movement to fight against something that doesn’t seem fair. in the reading it talks about how activism is different and in a way better now because we have social media, we can post photos or videos and we can use hashtags like the BLM movement . I was thinking how this reminded me of the activist movement that’s going on in Mexico , these are women fight for a cause , they fighting against femicide. in Mexico hundreds of women go missing everyday, some days they turn up dead , rare times they come back alive and most likely they would never be found. many women are using hashtags and peaceful protest for the government to do something about this, many times women who are protesting whether is peaceful are not end up in jail or detained just for being there. every year on women’s day thousands of women march for a cause and that’s the mind of an activist , educating others on topics the have little to no knowledge of and try to come all together to fight injustice. that’s what I understand that an activist Is.
