hashtag activism

Hashtag activism involves using social media hashtags to raise awareness, express support, or advocate for social or political issues. By tagging content with a specific hashtag, individuals can collectively draw attention to causes, organize events, or prompt discussions on platforms like Twitter or Instagram. This digital activism allows for rapid dissemination of information, mobilization of supporters, and amplification of voices that might otherwise go unheard. While effective for spreading awareness, its impact depends on ongoing engagement and follow-up actions beyond online conversations.
