Improvements for Social Network Activism
Social network activism is often criticized that there is a lack of commitment by the people involved and that they do not follow through with supporting the cause after they make a donation or join a group on Facebook. I believe that movements could make better use of social network activism by creating more awareness, and actually make people leave their house to participate. Now, people would have to leave the comfort of their house to support their cause, and this would show true commitment to the cause.
These movements would help improve the outreach and follow through efforts because the people who came out to support their cause obviously have a strong view on a particular issue. If these people come out to support their cause, so they would have follow through efforts and come back to other efforts. Other ways to improve this would be by signing up for a Facebook group, you would have to either donate money or come out to a sponsored event. This would eliminate random people from supporting the cause and people who are not committed.

I agree, participation is a key factor in moving forward. It's easy to stay at home and click buttons or even in some cases donate money online but there is something missing and it seems the times now have taken away from marches on Washington and other iconic images that so powerfully persuaded people.
