Went to my local protest today
This was my first protest I’d ever been to and wasn’t sure what to expect. I think one of the main reasons that keeps people from going to protests is because of the view that they’re ineffective, no one will show up, etc. Much like voting, every person counts. Additionally, it was great to be in a community-driven environment surrounded by people upset with what’s been going on (yet all glad to be there)—this brings so much of a morale boost it’s hard to conceive until you’re there. Young, old, nurses, teachers, combat veterans, and everyone in between showed up. (And no, El*n, none of us were paid.)Additionally, there were a few different side activities going on that you could be a part of as well, primarily petitions for movements to get on the ballot. Let me say this again, petitions to get on the state/local ballot, not just petitions to show your anger/support for a cause. Many local candidates and policy bills need a certain number of signatures from registered voters to even qualify to get onto a ballot on Election Day—Barack Obama talks about going through this process in his memoir while he was running to be a local state representative. This is how change starts—from the local level up. At this protest, not only were we expressing our frustration peacefully and finding community, we also had the ability to help get causes onto the ballot that we want to see. It is NOT against the Hatch Act for you to partake in any of these activities. Change starts small. When I look back at the last few months years from now, I’ll be glad I did this.
