This study examines the "Peringatan Darurat" phenomenon, a social media-driven movement against the Regional Election Bill 2024 in Indonesia. Using Resource Mobilization Theory, Framing Theory, and National Resilience Theory, this research explores how digital platforms facilitated mass mobilization while also increasing polarization and distrust in institutions. Findings show that social media enabled decentralized protest coordination, while strategic framing strengthened public engagement. However, the rapid spread of unverified information and the government’s reliance on buzzers deepened societal divisions. This study highlights the dual impact of digital activism and suggests improving digital literacy and government transparency to balance civic engagement with national stability. Future research should examine cross-national comparisons and platform algorithms' role in online mobilization.
