Social Media for a Cause, Intro.

In addition to the various other ways that people are utilizing social media, many organizations and individuals are turning to social media and its power as a means of mass communication to raise awareness to causes. This works because of the power of sharing and, in some cases, the interactivity that allows people to PHYSICALLY get involved instead of JUST financially. This topic, along with many others can be tied back to some of the previous topics that I have discussed such as: celebrities on social media, the Dakota Access Pipeline, and using social media as a fundraising tool.
