The Social Media Activists are people who go to special events and get ahold to people and stop them and ask questions, also any information they gathered either the social media activists use for good things or bad things. Well the subject i chose was social media activists right, so this walkouts happened because of donald trump became president, he had said some thing about deporting innocent immigrants who came to work and have a better life, when exactly white people think money is free and easy to get by doing nothing, they mad because we latinos work hard for our money we put dedication to what we chose to work in, we students resisted and said no, you are not our president. We latinos are being oppressed because all we do is help out to have a clean community and donald trump is saying we are stealing jobs when exactly we are working hard and looking for jobs to keep our families together. Donald trump oppressed us by saying he will deport millions of innocent immigrants who just came to work and have a better life back to where they came from. My subject is about social media activists and the article i found refers to donald trump presidential election and millions of non-supporters of trump and imm igrants stood up for themselves went on a strike to try and stop the non-sense. Hundreds of students walked out of schools and went on a adventure to speak up and let donald trump know he is not our president. Well a special group of disabled people wrote it their names are . The website is CNET. This article was written in February 2, 2017. At a protest over President Donald Trump’s immigration ban at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport on Sunday, the 32-year-old social worker-turned-activist had to hunt for curbs with ramps to even enter the building. She jockeyed for position to hold up her sign to arriving passengers that read, “All are welcome.” Yes, the information i have is trust worthy because is it brand new information and also it is something that is still happening. The category of oppression that is happening is politics because the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power. The level of oppression happening is interpersonal because this is referring to us latinos because Donald J. Trump is wanting to deport latinos for no reason. What caused the oppression is that donald trump became president and well he said he was going to deport a lot of immigrant people for no reason just because we latinos work very hard to get money and white people like him think we steal jobs when in reality we work and get money to feed our family. The effect on the oppression is that the people who are being oppressed have no power what so ever but the person or people who are the oppressor have the power to do this and that. Those people have more privileges than the people who don’t and the people who do not have power are the latinos who are immigrants and the the person with power is donald j. trump.
