Every social media outlet fills their own niche- Facebook was meant to bring friends and family together, Twitter was created so people can share their thoughts 140 words at a time, and Instagram lets folks tell their story through pictures.
Most people use their Instagram accounts to show off vacation photos or give their followers a glimpse into their lives, but a select few are using their Instagram to affect change in the world.
Accounts like @blklivesmatter, the obviously NSFW @freethenipple and @feministthoughtbubble are making a massive impact on the world of social media.
Surprisingly even Miley Cyrus has an Instagram account affecting change- @happyhippiefdn, which she founded with Joan Jett to “fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth, and other vulnerable populations.”
