Clicktivism, or online activism through social media, has the potential to raise awareness for important causes but often fails to create real change. While a hashtag like #BringBackOurGirls received millions of retweets, it did not lead to the kidnapped girls being rescued. Effective activism requires real-world actions like letters, meetings, and protests in addition to online engagement. Most people who learn about issues online do not take further meaningful actions to create change. Clicktivism allows people to feel involved without doing real work and can oversimplify complex problems. While digital activism keeps issues in the public conversation, true impact requires offline efforts that address issues at their roots.
