Protests like these give prominence to our concerns. But unless we take positive action through proper channels of politics and commerce, our disdain for the status quo will accomplish nothing. It is not enough to say "this is broken". We're obligated to provide the fix.
I am a nobody. I am the most lowly of nobodies. Some may label me the scum of the nobody pool. Yet my voice is as powerful as anyone's, because I am a citizen. I have a vote. I have my story to share. I have my purpose. I choose to pursue a better life. My family deserves the best that I can offer, and my community needs my strength. My life is dedicated to making a difference for good. We all have this ability, this civic duty.
