Social media refers to web-based applications that allow for interactive user-generated content and exchange. It can be used for real-world social interaction and communication. Barack Obama successfully used social media to organize supporters, raise funds, and mobilize volunteers. For disability advocacy, one person set up a blog and social media accounts to share their story and views, engage in two-way dialogue, and ask supporters to attend events on disability issues. Breakthrough UK aims to similarly use social media to engage supporters and mobilize them to specific actions.
