[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended one today and turnout was good. I don't really get the point of the protest tbh. Mostly older white liberals, with a few people of color sprinkled in like me and my child. Can anyone "explain like I'm 5" how protests actually affect change in this situation?[/quote]

Brown people are mostly staying home this time, because protesting under Trump could be deadly for them. White people 40+ are taking up the slack. [/quote]

That's how I felt. I am white, upper middle class, in my 50s, and don't work for the government. I felt that it was my responsibility to protest for all the federal workers or people of color who feel that it is risky for them to do so.[/quote]

I al not surprised. I knew this was going to happen. There is such a divide in the Democratic Party between white people and POCs. Keeping everything else constant, (education, lifestyle, wealth) I knew the minute all the whites in my alma mater chat group were going to to the march it was not for me. [/quote]
