Yes. I do have to say it.
A year ago I was sunk so low I truly felt there was no more point to making any sort of protest any longer. Why do anything when it never seems to make any difference? Now I can only say "Because it's right."
I speak a lot with my dad, who was a Civil Rights and antiwar activist in the '60s. Now, after 50+ years as a DC lawyer, his personal feeling is that the next few years will be shaped not by the courts or congress as much as the people behind 'No Kings' and the people out in the streets in Minneapolis. For someone with his level of experience that's a big statement to make.
At a concert I went to recently I think the performer said it best - "What do you do when showing up isn't enough? Show up anyway."
Enough said.

I'm deeply proud of your courage and inspired by your determination. I do what I can from my position, and often pass on information about protests and other essential information vital to resistance through various media channels. I help keep people informed about how to stay safe at protests and other stuff like that. I always wish I could do more, but I don't wallow in what I can't do.
We do what we can, and that matters so much more than doing nothing. Resistance has so many forms. There is always a way for us to resist, whether on the front lines or not.
