Protest is a right, and a duty.
A lot of people say that it's impossible to gather a dense protest like in Europe. If 1/3 of the population of NY were to get on the streets, you would see NY as packed as Berlin and even more. And you can protest even alone, or in small villages. There's plenty of people in the US doing that already. You have organized amazing protests throughout your history, you can do it again. Your Country gave birth to MLK, you have the power to speak up. This picture is George Floyd's protest march, this is you guys! And you can do it, again and again and again, I believe in you!
Everytime you give up because there's not enough people, because you are busy, because you don't feel like it, you are simply accepting the situation. If you want change, you need to expose yourselves. If you wait for someone else to do it for you, or someone to save you, that's not going to happen. Every person in every Country has the responsability of shaping society. If you don't do your part someone else is going to do it for you and you might not like the results. The time to raise your voice is now. Protest in a pacific, healthy way, but do so. Anytime, anywhere, join the others who are putting themselves out there.
