For my social movement, March for Our Lives, I am going to be using a comic frame to analyze the movement. This movement consisted of mostly young people, and I feel like this is the frame that the younger generation would be most familiar with because of meme culture. People who participated in this movement wanted to make the government look bad, as if they have not done enough in terms of gun control in our country. This was often done through signs and speeches during the march, such as the image above. Their goal was to give the government the reputation that they are not protecting young people because school shootings happen so frequently. There is a lot of comic elements incorporated in the signs that people made for the march, which ties into the comic frame very well. Millennials/Gen Z have used comedy in the past to make fun of the government/politicians online and this is the perfect example of the younger generation using their form of communication to stand up to their "oppressors."
