MODERATORS
Peaceful protests work because they get you out and you meet like-minded people and act together as a community.
It you go out there hoping for instant change, then you're missing the point. You need to talk to people, exchange contacts, schedule more get-togethers, look to talk with your local government as a group, amass enough votes to get someone among you as a representative or their staff.
Do this in enough cities that the protests took place and then it's done.
Yes, exactly. Protests are an outreach and organizing tool, not something that by itself causes change.
