| Wake up. Speak up. Change will happens |
My meme uses a cat to show how people sometimes ignore big issues, but it’s a reminder that our voices do matter.
Memes can be a part of protest and resistance because they share ideas in a way that grabs attention. In The Art of Activism, it says, “Activism works best when it is creative; creativity lowers barriers to participation and engages people in new ways” Memes take complicated issues and make them easy to understand, relatable, and funny, so more people pay attention. Even a small meme can spark conversation, raise awareness, and encourage people to act.
2. Definitions
Patriarchy: A system where men hold most of the power, controlling leadership, social rules, and resources.
Activism: Taking action to create social or political change, especially challenging unfair systems.
Systems of power affect our daily lives by deciding who has access to opportunities, rights, and resources. Activism pushes back against these systems and fights for fairness and equality.
