My partner was imprisoned for advocating for democracy in her country. What's happening here is not enough. (lemmy.sdf.org)

I'm sure we all feel great seeing photos and videos of huge protests. This isn't accomplishing much. We need more. I don't know what that is. I just know that we need it.

People disaffected by what is happening need to create organizations and then get people into politics state, local, and congress to affect change. The only thing protest can do is raise awareness. Until you have allies with actual power to make policy nothing will change.

Effect change. That's the rare verb form of "effect".
