I’ve always heard the word “activism” but I never knew the true meaning behind it or what it stands for until now. In the reading How To Think Like An Activist, Wendy Syfret gives a lot of information about activism and different situations in which activism was shown. A person who is an activist fights for what is right and participates in protest and movements to help bring justice to important topics. Syfret explains how to effectively become an activist and also help bring others to join in your activism journey. I believe that a lot more people should become activists because there are so many issues going around that need to be fought for and brought attention to. Telling people how important an issue is to you and giving them proper facts and insight on the situation can help other individuals think about becoming an activist and help make change. You can help educate other people who might not be familiar with a serious ongoing issue and help bring awareness. If you are passionate about helping others gain liberation, freedom, and justice, then becoming an activist should be in your interest. I want to try to start participating in activism and possibly going to protests because I like to speak up for people who may not be able to. I want to do more research to learn how to start off becoming an activist or just sharing information to help get across and bring awareness to important issues that need to be talked about.
