Can online activism make a true impact? In this week’s episode Maddie and Liz dive into the world of “clicktivism”, its benefits, its disadvantages and all of the above.  Online activism can sometimes get a bad rep! One main point that Maddie drives home is that our digital spaces are incredibly intertwined with the physical spaces we interact with.

 It is essential that we treat our digital spaces and physical spaces with the same effort of kindness and compassion. We encourage our listeners to reflect on their interactions within digital spaces and how social justice and advocacy is intertwined within their daily lives both physically and digitally.
