In doing so, TikTok has united people and allowed them to spread their beliefs and organize themselves. An example of this is people reserving the tickets for a Trump rally, causing there to be a near empty stadium. This platforms allows people to share their views and to connect with others of similar views. This has caused younger people to become more involved in politics than they have in the past, causing this newest generation to be one of activism.

Some have been seen using viral songs, showing and inspirational, and in some cases cute, videos of their beneficiaries, and/or using text tools to add more information that is cohesive to the non-profit's message. Others, such as the American Heart Association, have started dance trends including their "Keep the Beat" challenge as a way to spread awareness or shed light on a topic that may not be as clear to the general public.]]> 2021-08-31 14:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/SraMcNeilly/tiktok/wish/1707234370 https://padlet.com/SraMcNeilly/tiktok/wish/1707237122 The platform TikTok promotes not only videos for entertainment but videos with prominent messages on the problems our society faces.
