Social activism is a key component for strengthening democracies and having the voices of marginalized people heard. However, in many societies access to power is curtailed for many people. Their voices are suppressed and their livelihood is undervalued. In essence, they are disconnected. Social activism connects people to each other and promotes a dynamic to confront power and make the invisible visible. This book uses research and reflection on social activism to speak to the dynamics of a disconnected world. Using an international lens, the authors capture social activism in the context of LGBTQIA+ rights, war crimes, food insecurity, and more. Mobilizing the marginalized is critical to connecting our world and giving the oppressed access to power, which is their right.
