Are we speaking AT each other and not WITH each other? In a generation of signing petitions, scrolling, retweeting, scrolling, speaking out and moving on with your day; how effective is social media in the fight for social change? Does the impact of social media create long-lasting impact or is it just a substitute for action?

In this episode, we're discussing all of this and more as we ask 'Is Online Activism an Effective Substitute for Physical Action?'; taking audio clips live from an event hosted on Whatsapp, along with commentary from a few community members reading the conversation in our office. We're joined by Myles Dyer (Youtuber and motivational speaker), Luci Hammans (poet and activist), Paige Jackson (Producer), and Belal Stitan (student and artist).

We want to hear you join the conversation, please leave your thoughts, opinions and feedback in the comments, ratings and at https://www.beatfreeks.com/blabpodcast
