we are still dealing with many of the same issues and we continue to help them everyday but there is always more to fix

# data[].attributes.body
I think we are still dealing with issues of inclusion in all aspects or even inclusion for the right reasons (like how we talked about Universities bragging about diversity). I think we are still dealing with discrimination but something that has been seeming to work is petitions and protests.

Next Steps: Be kind :)

There are many new ways to raise awareness and fight but it hasn't made things better in some ways it made it worse

# data[].attributes.body
I see that social media has replaced the sit ins and protests of the past, but the issue still exists... Are marginalized groups being included and supported?

# data[].attributes.body
I think inclusion is still a dominating topic and these activist groups are still lasting many years through multiple groups of people. One thing that is different is the use of media and how that fuels activism nowadays.

People tend to use media outlets nowadays because of new tech, which then in turn allows for news to travel faster and protest to be held easier. The usage of cameras have also captured many things people may not believe. Twitter was predominantly used to share experiences in which the people affected felt unfair.
