Twitter are giving a million dollars to stop Trump from banning refugees. Nearly a thousand twitter employees have given money to help support the cause of fighting the ban. 

• The civil rights group has reportedly raised more than $24m in online donations in the past few days.
• Nearly 1,000 Twitter employees donated more than $500,000, which was matched by chief executive Jack Dorsey and executive chairman Omid Kordestani, according to TechCrunch

I think that this is a primary example of how social media has a positive impact on people and that life changing things it can help with. In this case it's benefiting a lot of people and because of Twitter it's possible to gain further support for this cause.
