Big changes are happening worldwide, and here in America, the urgency for action has never been greater. The political landscape is shifting, policies are being made that affect millions, and the voices of the people must be louder than ever. Showing up at a protest is a great start—it is a powerful expression of solidarity, a way to amplify collective outrage, and a reminder to those in power that the people are watching. Chanting in unison, marching side by side, and sharing in the energy of resistance builds a sense of unity that fuels movements.
But activism cannot stop there. Posting on social media, spreading awareness, and engaging in discussions are important, but true change demands persistence beyond the moment. It requires sustained action, informed opposition, and an unwavering commitment to holding those in power accountable. Being adamant and strongly opposed to unjust policies at the federal level means more than just voicing frustration—it means organizing, showing up at town halls, contacting representatives, supporting grassroots movements, and demanding accountability at every turn.
Real change doesn’t happen overnight, and it certainly doesn’t happen if resistance is only performative. It takes a relentless push from engaged citizens who refuse to be silenced. The fight is not just about one protest, one post, or one election—it is about building a movement that does not back down. Change is possible, but only if people are willing to show up, not just in the streets, but in every space where power is challenged and progress is made.
