    I don’t go out and protest. Not my thing. I have a job.

    I write my senators and I donate to politicians who share my values. Anyone who supports fracking. Doesn’t get a dollar for me. Anyone who is anti-abortion. Doesn’t get a dollar from me.

    Can you list how the world has changed since her protest? Doesn’t seem overly effective.

      not everyone has the privilege of using money to get politicians to do what they want.

        Everyone can donate. You just have to prioritize things in your life.

          most people prioritize food and housing and bills over paying off politicians.

          again, not everyone is in your privileged position of being able to afford to pay off politicians to do what you want.
