Digital activism & Delhi's air

With #MyRightToBreathe, #LetMeBreathe and #DelhiAirPollution trending every winter on Twitter and residents posting photos of both polluted hotspots and blue skies on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, a major chunk of conversations around air pollution occur on digital platforms. Tagging functions allow concerned citizens to draw in government officials, politicians, and activists in their discussions, and elicit responses.

This essay profiles organizations, individuals, and instances of digital activism around Delhi's air.
