I don’t know that I think the protest itself “accomplished” anything in terms of making what we were marching against change, or getting anyone to listen to us.

What it /did/ accomplish, was to give me a visceral sense of I am not alone! I can sit in anguish about what is happening and how powerless I am, or I can know that we are a community together.

Protest alone is not enough, it’s great for inspiration if people go home & do the foot-work later…
