Protests have changed the world.
They are as powerful a weapon of change
as they have ever been.

"There may be times when we are powerless
to prevent injustice
but there must never be a time
when we fail to protest."

to triumph
is for good men
to do nothing."

Good men are doing nothing for fear of protests,

Violent crime has surged in the city following last year’s riots over the death of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter activists’ calls for defunding law enforcement. Violent crime surged 21% in 2020, and 2021 is threatening to continue that trend as police grapple with a string of shootings, the most recent resulting in two dead and eight injured.

Minneapolis community leaders held a “take back the block” rally at Shiloh Temple in north Minneapolis last week to kick off a campaign of community pushback to violent crime. On Monday, volunteers took to the streets of Minneapolis in a display meant to signify that criminals do not run the city, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. The program comes as the city struggles with a shortage of cops and makes requests to state and federal agencies for law enforcement assistance.

Proud Boy Jose'

On protest that didn't work, was the gun violent protest you supported at the Capitol Building in Washington 6th January. Like Trump you can't win them all!
