It's not so much "advance" as "maintain". I want to make sure I have enough context of everything going on, especially in an age where there's a lot of blatant misinformation coming out the mouths of "offiial" sources.
Me by myself can't do much, and that's frustrating. But if nothing else, social media does at least let me boost people who do have a voice and can shout through all the spin (even if yes, they need a bit of spin themselves). I've joined a few protests in my area (things that the news will never inform and cover themselves), I try to at least like important news stories on social media to help those kinds of modern reporters rise up. I've been trying to at least keep a pulse on any union situations around here (none, sadly. But it's a muscle to flex with that will pay off later).
It doesn't feel signifigant on the day to day, but I do see the wider effects happening overtime. If you feel you don't need to do any work to progress that, I understand. But I also just want to lightly ask to consider the bystander effect. If everyone thinks "someone else will do something", no one will.
