In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

In May of 2020, a video of a Black man named George Floyd circulated virally across news and social media sites in which a police officer knelt on his neck for nine minutes eventually killing Floyd. This incident prompted nationwide protests in response to police brutality and a surge in the support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Drawing from the collective action frame’s core framing tasks (Benford and Snow 2000) and Resource Mobilization Theory (McCarthy and Zald 1977), I use a content analysis to examine the framing of the Black Lives Matter movement on Instagram through the deployment of diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational frames before and after the death of George Floyd. Additionally, I analyze the mobilization of conscience constituents through the utilization of a target audience on Instagram posts. Ultimately, I find that after the death of Floyd, Black Lives Matter Instagram posts display an increase in the proportion of core framing tasks and targeted white people in their calls to action, suggesting that the increase contributed to the development of an organizational frame while emphasizing conscience constituents in mobilization efforts. My research adds to literature on framing, social movements, and social media, highlighting Instagram as a platform for social movement framing.

Twenty-eight chapters from senior and junior social media scholars cover war, insurrections, revolutions, and quests for social justice through case studies of Cuba, Georgia, Egypt, India, Iran, Jordan, Thailand, Tunisia, and the United States, where President Obama's social media usage is scrutinized by a former campaign insider. The U.S. Department of Defence's social media policies in time of conflict are reviewed, and social media usage in Wisconsin's budget battle of 2011 is analyzed."--Cover, p. [4]

Black Lives Matter and #MeToo are two of the most prominent twenty-first-century social movements in the United States. On the ground and on social media, more people have taken an active stance in support of either or both movements than almost any others in the country's history. Social Movements and the Law brings together the voices of twelve scholars and public intellectuals to explore how Black Lives Matter and #MeToo unfolded—separately and together—and how they enrich, inform, and complicate each other. Structured in dialogues and punctuated with informative text boxes, illustrations, and discussion questions, this accessible guide to an increasingly influential area of the law centers rich intersectional analysis of both movements and prompts readers to undertake further reflection and conversation. At a time of heightened public attention to the broader implications of human social behavior and interaction, this book shows rather than tells how people with different perspectives can engage one another with open minds and generosity of spirit.
