But be careful, what might be appropriate messaging in one part of the world, might be misread in another.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to assessing the \u201csuccess\u201d of activism or movements in the digitally networked era it is crucial to look beyond the big numbers of protest attendees or hashtag users and to look at their deeper capacities. It may be relatively easier to bring large numbers of people together quickly in this day and age, but social change typically requires activists and movements to have a deeper underlying capacity that will allow them to change tactics and weather challenges.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks for following us on this journey and to all the readers who engaged in discussion by commenting and sharing their experiences and feedback. We learned so much from you. We hope to cross paths with you all again one day, whether online or offline, in the pursuit of positive social change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kasia, Lauren, Mercy, and Sam<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear readers, We have now come to the end of this assignment, which means that you won\u2019t be seeing any new posts here in the future.
