Discussion: Social Change Post9/11
As America entered the new millennium, the tenor and tone of the social change movement evolved. A different kind of immediacy arose, fueled by the speed with which technology could be used to raise awareness within a local community or a global one. Through strategic Internet campaigns, these movements have inspired people in Appalachia to challenge mountaintop removal and residents of Baltimore, Maryland, and Ferguson, Missouri, to protest aggressive policing in their respective communities. Through carefully crafted social media campaigns, hundreds of thousandseven millionsof people could be reached. The Red Equal Sign for Marriage Equality is an example. According to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) that launched this online effort prior to the Supreme Court decision, the images created upward of 10 million impressions. Celebrities, politicians and for-profit companies took up the logo, as well. And then came the memes. Marriage equality officially went viral (Skarda, 2014).
