#NHBPM Day 10: The future of online activism.
Our favorite social media sites are constantly undergoing renovations to become quicker to navigate, easier to interact with, all encompassing, mobile, and everywhere. Imagine the same thing about your community – how will they evolve, improve, and grow?
Before the Internet we were so limited with sharing information with getting the word out and education the public as well as being able to offer support to others. The Internet has opened up a new world of opportunity for activism and they sky is the limit. We can literally reach anyone who has access to this technology.
How will my communities evolve, improve and grow? I see the community growing and evolving daily reaching countless people in the sharing of knowledge, educating and exchanging of information. Working to help shatter the silence and break the stigma that is so ingrained within our society today. Ignorance is not pretty. We must spread the seeds of education, watering them with kindness and love. United as activists we journey forth helping these seeds of knowledge and truth to grow until ignorance and myth exist no more.
Online activism is here, growing, evolving becoming stronger and the online communities are ever busy with the presence of those who are searching for ways to help support their loved ones, share knowledge of their illnesses and of activists working to help break the stigma and educate the world. Online activism is growing and evolving as patients become their own advocate and activist seeking what is best for their health they take to the Information Highway. Some in the medical profession are less than thrilled with the knowledge we hold when we enter their offices...We are our own best advocate, activist and knowledge is power.
Peace, Love and Light
