This paper describes forms of online youth civic engagement that center the experiences of youth with historically marginalized identities and documents ways that youth are civically engaged. Twenty U.S.-based, digitally active youth ages 16 to 21 years old were interviewed. Seven participants (35%) identified as female, nine (45%) as male, and four (20%) as gender nonbinary. Twelve (60%) identified as a first or second generation immigrant. Youth were recruited through youth-led movement accounts on Twitter and contacted via Direct Messaging. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with youth between March and September 2020, a period spanning the outbreak of COVID-19 and rise in participation in the Black Lives Matter movement. Inductive Constant Comparative Analysis was used to document forms of youth civic engagement on social media and understand how youth ascribed meaning to their civic engagement. Framed by literature on critical consciousness and psychopolitical resistance to oppression, findings highlight three forms of online youth civic engagement: Restorying, Building Community, and Taking Collective Action. These findings indicate that, for youth with identities that have historically been marginalized, social media is an important context to be civically engaged in ways that resist oppression and injustice.

本文描述了在线青年公民参与的形式，这些形式以具有历史边缘化身份的青年的经历为中心，并记录了青年参与公民的方式。采访了 20 名 16 至 21 岁的美国活跃数字青年。七名参与者 (35%) 被确定为女性，九名 (45%) 为男性，四名 (20%) 为非二元性别。12 人 (60%) 被确定为第一代或第二代移民。青年是通过 Twitter 上由青年领导的运动帐户招募的，并通过直接消息进行联系。在 2020 年 3 月至 2020 年 9 月期间对青年进行了半结构化访谈，这一时期跨越了 COVID-19 的爆发和黑人生命问题运动的参与度上升。归纳常数比较分析用于记录社交媒体上青年公民参与的形式，并了解青年如何赋予他们的公民参与意义。以批判意识和心理政治抵抗压迫的文献为框架，调查结果强调了三种在线青年公民参与形式：重新讲述、建立社区和采取集体行动。这些调查结果表明，对于历史上被边缘化的年轻人来说，社交媒体是一个重要的环境，以抵制压迫和不公正的方式参与公民活动。和采取集体行动。这些调查结果表明，对于历史上被边缘化的年轻人来说，社交媒体是一个重要的环境，以抵制压迫和不公正的方式参与公民活动。和采取集体行动。这些调查结果表明，对于历史上被边缘化的年轻人来说，社交媒体是一个重要的环境，以抵制压迫和不公正的方式参与公民活动。
