Electracy calls for protests that are interactive with the use of Twitter and other social media platforms through hashtags that defend the ideas that activists try to implement in the physical sphere. Electracy has offered the production of platforms in which awareness is heightened because of the ability for everyone to post and share ideas, specifically how to counter issues such as racism and sexual harassment. We’ve transitioned to a world where we have the option to make everything public, and we’ve overcome the “hypocrisies” of this, as with religion, by choosing to use social media and other means made available to us, such as videos and other formats on the internet to fight oppression that Americans face every day and to raise awareness about these issues. By raising awareness, we are contributing to a “truly moral” society rather than a hypocritical one. Electracy is the epoch that shouldn't be feared; it's going to educate us just as literacy has, just on a new platform.
