: Increasingly pervasive information and communication technologies have an influence on the formation of social movements today. From hashtag activism to the facilitation of transnational and non-Western protest, social movements increasingly rely on new media and digital technologies such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, your inbox, various messaging services and videos on your cellphone to communicate their politics. Within this rapidly changing landscape we want to deploy a social science perspective and ask: Why do people join social movements today? How do such movements serve the needs of their members? What are the typical consequences of membership? What gives rise to social movements, and how can we evaluate them?
