Thanks.

I'm happy to be here today.

Well, I think that's a great observation in that online activity is not enough in and of itself.

That has to be kind of bridging into the kind of quote-unquote real world, like offline, in order to bring about policy change that is going to serve more preventative functions.

So we're not saying that social media activism alone is going to serve that preventive function.

There is research in a lot of different contexts about the power for victims of having their experiences acknowledged and recognized in public settings, whether it's in official channels or not.

So, you know, what we've found is that these tweets, some of which as Arnaud was saying, are about kind of documenting, you know,

providing some kind of visual testimony or evidence of what's happening that could maybe, in the eyes of many who are posting these things, are hoping that sometimes at some point the people who are responsible for this violence will be held accountable or criminally accountable.

But there's also, I guess, for many, not all people, but some power in having just their experiences recognized and publicly acknowledged.

There is just so much noise that's out there.

Building those coalitions, how do we effectively do that?

I was going to say the $64,000 question, but I think with inflation, it's a lot higher.

Thank you, Darren.

We appreciate it.
