Social movements¶
Social movements are organized, collective efforts by groups of people working toward shared social or political goals. These can range from localized community initiatives to large-scale protests and campaigns. Contemporary social movements increasingly rely on digital media and online networks for coordination, mobilization, and information dissemination.
