Instagram. Today's youth are speaking up using what they know best: social media.他们是如何传播消息的？Instagram。如今的年轻人正运用他们最熟悉的方式发声：社交媒体。I think overall technology has really been a driving force for us, having those things that already connect us and then kind of trying to figure out how we can manipulate these things, how we can use them to our advantage.我认为总体而言，技术确实是推动我们前进的动力，有了那些已经将我们联系起来的事物，然后再去思考我们如何能够操控这些事物，如何利用它们为我们谋利。Here in New York City, Jessica Rosario and her peers have been busy rallying their community around online voter registration.在纽约市，杰西卡·罗萨里奥和同伴们一直忙于围绕在线选民登记动员他们的社区。We wanted to really create a space for digital democracy.我们想要真正为数字民主创造一个空间。Sharing resources and building online coalitions with other like-minded organizations are key.与其他志同道合的组织共享资源和建立在线联盟是关键。There's nothing better than coming together in a group and just really talking about what's necessary and then splitting up and creating those tools so that we could share it out to our communities.没有什么比聚在一起，真正讨论必要之事，然后分头行动去制作那些工具，以便我们能将其分享给我们的社区更好的了。Digital activism isn't new but young people today are making more use of it.数字行动主义并不新鲜，但如今的年轻人正在更多地利用它。Rosario helped create digital toolkits that supporters could use to push for legislative action in the stateSenate.罗萨里奥帮助创建了数字工具包，支持者可以利用这些工具包在州参议院推动立法行动。People could click on it and it would automatically open up their Twitter with like a pre-written tweet that we had created.人们可以点击它，然后它会自动打开他们的推特，显示一条我们预先写好的推文。And just in a second, you could send that. It tags the elected officials, telling them exactly what the legislation name is and why we were demanding it.转眼间，你可以发送它，它会标记出当选官员，明确告知他们立法名称以及我们要求此项立法的原因。Rosario believes the Twitter storm helped result in a section of New York's civil rights law being repealed.罗萨里奥认为，这场推特风暴有助于促使纽约州民权法中的某一条款被废除。We created that in just a matter of I want to say hours to a day.我们仅用了几个小时到一天的时间就完成了那个。Others are repurposing existing platforms like Twitch, a livestreaming site for gamers that recently has become a place to catch protests as they happen on the ground.其他人正在重新利用现有的平台，如Twitch——一个游戏玩家的直播网站，最近已成为实时捕捉地面抗议活动的地方。For 21-year-old Rosario who falls squarely in the Gen Z demographic, they're still in appreciation for old-school technology.对于正好属于Z世代人群的21岁的罗萨里奥来说，他们仍然很欣赏老派技术。Text isn't always the best. If you have a lot to say, you want to hear people's emotions when you're like telling them news. I love phone calls way better than text messages.短信并不总是最好的。如果你有很多话要说，你会希望在告知消息时听到对方的情绪。比起短信，我更喜欢打电话。For these digital natives, getting everyone's attention is all about the online and offline connections.对这些数字原住民来说，吸引所有人的注意力关键在于线上与线下的连接。
