How do activists sustain momentum while advocating online?

Social media fatigue and desensitisation to global crises often occur online, especially when the situation has persisted for decades. So how do you keep the world interested in your cause? Social media have proven to be a powerful tool for mobilising and raising awareness. In this episode, we speak to a Palestinian activist, a climate activist and a feminist organiser about their innovative techniques to keep the world talking. We discuss the importance of storytelling and building a community online to effectively educate, engage and inspire action.
