[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Protesting is somewhat ineffective. Working with your elected officials, attending and speaking at local town halls, using traditional media and social media, perhaps starting a PAC to influence campaign money and votes is the only thing that will make a difference. It has to be done via the system and in a calm and thoughtful manner. [/quote] Most people involved in anti-racism work are doing all of that already. You can do all that and march. Marching is effective as a way of bearing witness through the media. People around the work now see how sick our system is and that millions are ready to risk injury or worse to bring about a change. That is powerful, too. When I voted on Tuesday, there were many people clearly taking a break from protesting to cast their ballot. [/quote]
