Clicktivism uses digital media like social networks to facilitate social change and activism. A clicktivism campaign can be created by choosing an issue, creating a purposeful activity to spread awareness of the issue virally, and finding ways to keep the public engaged after it goes viral. For example, a campaign was created for mental health awareness using a dance challenge on social media to cultivate unique dance routines. Crowdfunding can also be used to keep supporters engaged after the initial viral period. While clicktivism has been criticized as "slacktivism" and not driving real-world change, viral campaigns have been successful in raising funds and awareness for issues when done effectively.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. Creating a Clicktivism Campaign
1. Choose an
issue/subject for
your viral
campaign
2. Create and share a
purposeful activity to
help spread word
about the campaign
3. Find ways to keep
the public engaged
even after the
campaign goes viral

5. 1. Picking a Problem:
Depression/Mental Health
“It is estimated that 10-20%
of Canadian youth are
affected by a mental illness
or disorder – the single
most disabling group of
disorders worldwide.” (3)

6. One person will create/perform a dance move and then challenge their
friends to continue the routine by adding their own additional move.
This will create a chain reaction of dance steps, which will cultivate a
variety of unique dance routines shared through social media.

7. But Why Dance?
The body releases endorphins during periods of physical
activity, specifically dance, resulting in feelings of well-being
and sometimes, euphoria. (1)
- Road to Health
"Once depression is recognized, help can make a difference for
80% of people who are affected, allowing them to get back to their
regular activities.” (3)

8. Empowered users, knowing that their contribution can
make a difference, are more committed and more
satisfied than passive viewers. (2)
These new social technologies can create a ‘ripple effect’:
once an idea or concept has reached a tipping point it will
then spread very quickly and with a chain reaction. (2)

empower anyone to have a
positive impact on the society by
initiating community
engagement and creating
networking effects.” (2)

11. “A little over five years ago,
YouTube ushered in a new genre
of video advertising, one that
succeeded on its ability to
entertain and to be passed
around. Call them "viral" videos,
super-sized TV ads, branded
videos or just plain commercials,
a few of them have crossed a
significant psychic milestone:
100 million views and counting.”

12. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
“As of press time, more than 3 million
people and organizations have donated to
the ALS Association, accounting for more
than $110 million in total donations.” (10)
“While the remarkable growth
of the challenge happened
organically, the ALS
Association has made a
concerted effort to educate
new site visitors about the
disease and their work.” (10)

In 2014, 2.6 million UNICEF Tap Project participants from the U.S.,
Australia, South Korea, China, Germany and 20 other countries
across the globe generated more than a million dollars in clean
water funding. (11)

14. Slacktivism“Organizations must
be able to keep
their supporters
engaged after the
hashtag stops
trending” (4)
The criticism that most people have against clicktivism is
that the action stops there. Small actions on Facebook,
or Twitter, or petition sites are fine in themselves. (8)

15. The hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, swept around the world in more than three
million retweets. But one year later, #BringBackOurGirls hasn’t brought the
girls home. (4)

16. “There is no hope of encouraging stakeholders to take
deeper actions unless they feel that their current level of
activism is appreciated and important.” (7)

17. Clicktivism isn’t just about viral campaigns, it can include a
whole a range of activities, such as crowdfunding (13).
Crowd Funding
“Entrepreneurs solicit the funding directly from the
public, in large part from people whom they do not know.
As a result, you may see something like 1000 people giving
$30 each instead of a $30,000 loan from a single bank officer.”
(12)
How Does It Work?

18. Crowdfundingisnot always
successful, but it is an interesting
alternative to havingto relyon a
single stakeholder to help fund
the company.
“Vanhawkswas among the
fortunate ones,easilyexceeding
its goal and raising $820,000
fromKickstarter donorsto
become the biggest Canadian
Crowdfundingcampaign to date
in 2014.” (6)

19. 3. Keeping the SupportersEngaged
Our last and final step to creating our clicktivism campaign,
revolves around the pressure to keep supporters engaged even
after the campaign has gone viral.
Crowd funding is a great method to use to keep the supporters
engaged. Through crowd funding, the Mental Health Awareness
Association could create initiatives/events and merchandise
surrounding the stigma of depression, so that the issue remains
relevant and in the minds of the campaign’s supporters.

20. Overall, the exposure clicktivism brings to organizations should be
recognized and despite what many believe to be ineffective; this quote sums
up the main reason why viral campaigns will still be popular, at least for now.
“Will those clicktivists produce an 800
percent increase in tangible
donations? Maybe, maybe not. But
when it costs you NOTHING, isn’t it
worth trying?”(9)

21. And now there is only one thing left to
do for the campaign.
