| This thesis explores how digital platforms have transformed the language, form, and the spread of protest writing. It examines how protest rhetoric has evolved in the digital age by showing how new media platforms have transformed the ways resistance movements communicate, organize, and mobilize. The study investigates some notable movements like Bangladesh’s 2024 July Movement, the 2018 Road Safety Movement, as well as the United States’ No Kings Movement, the 50501 Movement, the Black Lives Matters Movement, the global #MeToo Movement and some other notable movements to probe the role of online texts like tweets, hashtags, digital posters, and collective statements in facilitating resistance. The central concept of this research is digital rhetoric and how protest writings function as tools for resistance and also as mechanisms for creating solidarity and empowering marginalized voices. Additionally, this thesis examines the impact of state surveillance and digital censorship. It explores how these movements navigate such constraints to maintain their momentum. This work places these movements within the broader context of digital rhetoric, social movement theory, and postcolonial media studies. This thesis explores that digital protest writing is a vital form of contemporary resistance that helps activists spread messages, build solidarity, raise awareness, and challenge power systems in today’s world. It also asserts that digital platforms have become vital arenas for activism, where writing itself serves as a form of resistance and empowerment.
