Over the last several months we have seen an explosion of activist movements (e.g. Occupy Wall St, Black Lives Matter, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge).

Does social media fuel activism, or does activism fuel social media? For this option write a 500-word letter to your congressperson advocating your position on these issues.
