The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes in all aspects of life, including the way in which campus activism is conducted. Campus activism has traditionally been characterized by in-person protests, marches, and events that bring students together to advocate for social justice issues. However, with the restrictions on gatherings and social distancing measures put in place to curb the spread of the virus, campus activists have had to adapt and evolve their strategies.

One of the most noticeable changes in campus activism during COVID-19 has been the shift to virtual activism. Many student groups and organizations have turned to online platforms such as Zoom, social media, and websites to continue their advocacy work. Virtual protests, webinars, and social media campaigns have become the new norm for campus activists who are unable to gather in person. This shift to a digital format has allowed for wider participation and engagement from students who may not have been able to attend in-person events.

Another significant change in campus activism during COVID-19 has been its focus on issues related to the pandemic. Student activists have been advocating for better healthcare, access to resources, and support for vulnerable communities who have been disproportionately affected by the virus. In addition, there has been a renewed emphasis on social and economic justice issues that have been exacerbated by the pandemic, such as income inequality, systemic racism, and the digital divide.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, campus activists have shown resilience and creativity in continuing their work for social change. In some cases, student activists have organized socially distanced protests and rallies, adhering to health and safety guidelines while still making their voices heard. Others have used art, music, and other forms of creative expression to raise awareness about important issues and inspire action.

As the pandemic continues to unfold, it is likely that campus activism will continue to evolve in response to changing circumstances. Whether through virtual platforms, socially distanced events, or creative forms of expression, student activists are finding new ways to make a difference and advocate for a more just and equitable society. By adapting to the challenges of COVID-19, campus activists are demonstrating their resilience and commitment to social change, even in the face of a global pandemic.
