Muslim Youth and Activism: Using Social Media for Social Justice

 In today’s hyper-connected world, young Muslims are increasingly turning to platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) to champion justice and amplify their voices. From advocating for Palestinian liberation to addressing climate change and refugee crises, Muslim youth are merging their faith with digital activism in powerful ways.
