Having the know-how and commitment to help individuals and minority groups can change and even save lives on and offline

Dealing with sensitive and emotional issues can result in negative and even targeted responses online. It is important to protect your identity and personal information as much as possible

Knowing how to access and utilize user tools and resources will help you to engage with confidence and will also help when supporting other users who encounter problems. Learning how platform engagement features work such as hashtags, stories and mentions can really help amplify your efforts

From reaching out to support an individual in need on social media, amplifying the voices of marginalised and underrepresented groups or challenging injustices – changemakers can have a profound impact on the world

Many individuals or groups who suffer from abuse, injustice or oppression can be excluded from engaging publicly for a number of reasons. Increasing visibility and awareness of their truth through upstanding, positive activism and authentic allyship can have a significant impact

Directing people to reputable learning resources that can help them understand about the different aspects of becoming an effective and competent changemaker is a great way of promoting positive activism
