Technology has revolutionized the way we do everything from paying our bills to ordering our meals. This revolution also extends to how we advance ideas and make strides for what we believe in. The next generation is equipped with more tools than any other before them to effectively advocate for causes, build a movement, and drive social change.

Last week during National Free Speech Week, we saw the same phenomena happening with the fight for the First Amendment. Young Americans for Liberty held free speech events throughout the country. With the successful use of hashtags such as #MakeLibertyWin and #MakeDiscourseCivilAgain, youth activists are broadening the reach of their ideas as they advocate for First Amendment rights and demand that their universities uphold them. Their pictures and videos are inspiring others to take action on their campuses, thereby generating greater attention to this national issue.
