I thought this article did a really good job of showing the importance of past activism, how activism paves the way for our human rights, and is even responsible for the opportunities we have to be active today. I think that it is important to keep this in mind and understand what has actually happened that has given us more rights, liberties, and securities, as the article states. It is great that the article not only identifies how activism helps people obtain rights and remain active in future generations but also identifies how some of this activism doesn’t benefit specific groups as much as it does with others. Feminism was a good example to give, specifically with women of color. Obtaining the right to vote and paving the way to be active towards other issues is incredible, however, it’s really important to highlight issues that still need to be resolved, especially when certain populations aren’t guaranteed the same rights that were fought for. When it comes to this, after second-wave feminism, and now third-wave, I feel like there is a good opportunity to address and solve a lot of these issues.

The emphasis on young activism is also really important. This has also created a unique opportunity for us to be active towards issues that really matter, and to be inclusive of everyone in it. There are new ways to be active as well; online and at home. It is not the say all be all of activism, but definitely has a large impact on activism as stated in the article. It is great that we can not only reach populations worldwide but can also hear populations worldwide. It offers a voice to many people and groups that had no chance to be heard before. Unfortunately, there is still so much to be done and many of the issues we hear about continue to go unnoticed, however, I hope this is a step in the right direction and will create a platform for change. I personally love how the article moves forward and highlights how the importance of combining online activism with real-life activism. It is essential in being active in these issues to engage them on multiple fronts.
