I asked her the following questions.

With social media we have been able to reach out to people we didn't know we could. Our Instagram has become so important as we are able to write longer captions and fully deliver a message. Of course, we are limited to certain content because of regulations, however our activism goes beyond this. Our TikTok has also become really important, as we have learned how to use the platform a little better. Also by using social media, but specifically TikTok, we are able to reach a younger audience than compared to on Instagram. Social media as a whole provides us the opportunity to reach more people and we are able to communicate in English and Spanish, which is important to the community in which we do the most work, which is the DPS community. "]]> 2021-04-29 17:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mees3667/1al3qttnduc3zpwq/wish/1475168732 How to Get Involved mees3667 https://padlet.com/mees3667/1al3qttnduc3zpwq/wish/1475209301

Also social media can be used for more than one purpose, while yes social media activism is important, it's also a way to communicate with family and friends might be far! I think also a way we can encourage people to use social media to speak up against injustices is by creating live streams where people can hold conversations on the issues and topics they want to discuss. Especially during the pandemic! "

Followers, likes and views = money. And that's what living in a capitalist society has led us to. "]]> 2021-04-30 19:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mees3667/1al3qttnduc3zpwq/wish/1479834822 What’s the best part about being the tik tok specialist and why are some of the difficulties? mees3667 https://padlet.com/mees3667/1al3qttnduc3zpwq/wish/1479839912 "The best part about being a TikTok Specialist is that I have been able to grow out of my shell. I have gained so much confidence since I began my internship with PJU. I have also learned something every day since I began! Also something that I appreciate so much has been the community I found in PJU. They make me feel welcomed and I actually feel like I am listened to. Some difficulties include not understanding certain terms, or policies right away, but nothing reading can't fix! And also just timing, because I am a full time student, planning and scripting for the TikTok can take me a little while! "]]> 2021-04-30 19:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mees3667/1al3qttnduc3zpwq/wish/1479839912 What made you decide to be a part of the P&JU community? mees3667 https://padlet.com/mees3667/1al3qttnduc3zpwq/wish/1479844072 "I wanted to become a part of the PJU community because I knew that I would fit in with the staff. I wanted a place in which I knew I was going to be challenged, but also encouraged to grow and learn. I felt this "vibe" when I met with Isaias, our assistant director, who also oversees the interns. He told me "we don't really have a plan for you, but we hope we can develop something and you are able to fit in wherever" I felt so honored that he saw that potential in me, and that means everything to me, as it gave me confidence to see myself doing something I had never done, such as running a TikTok account, and setting up a Student Rights Hotline for DPS students. "]]> 2021-04-30 20:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mees3667/1al3qttnduc3zpwq/wish/1479844072 Connectionns To Course Readings mees3667 https://padlet.com/mees3667/1al3qttnduc3zpwq/wish/1480413562 As mentioned they believe everyone deserves a quality edcation.View education as a right an dnot a privelge. 

Two quotes Padres & Jovenes Unidos can relate to are 

1) "The messages that may be conveyed to them 
and their parents are that the home language has no value or role in school if it is not English, and that parents who want to help their children learn English should switch to 
English for communication at home, read books with them in English, and in general 
prioritize the school language over them home language.” (Wong-Fillmore & 
Snow,2008,p.26). Padres & Jovenes Unidos never wants children to neglect home langauge and belives it can be a tool t o help with Bilingualism.

2)“Bilingualism is a choice for some families and a 
necessity for others.” (Paradis, Genesee, & Crago, Ch. 9)

They understand that some children tdo not have a chice in what lagauges they learn and it is only fair to support their journey from an early age.
