There have been plenty of issues to explore on Twitter this year – midterm elections, child care accessibility and affordability, early education funding, the U.S.-Mexico border crisis. The list goes on! Despite all the trending news, we asked: What reached across our computer screens and phones and inspired our supporters to take action? Below is a roundup of our top five tweets to highlight some of our biggest social media moments of the year.

Thank you @oliviawilde, @Camila_Cabello and @CobieSmulders for supporting our action and standing with us in our efforts to reunite families at the border. No child should be forcefully separated from their families. #FamiliesBelongTogether https://t.co/QfY0BjwLII
