I have an idea for my future that I find exciting. - Help.com

Well, it is important to understand that I would not be telling them “what” to protest, only “how” to protest. It is not as intuitive as our country makes it out to be. There are right ways, and wrong ways to protest. What needs to be done before hand, what needs to be done to ensure it is legal, how to organize for mass capacity, making sure it’s nonviolent.

It is the most basic way to promote change within a country when legal means and elections aren’t providing meaningful change. There is nothing more terrifying to leaders than disgruntled citizens with the ability to organize.

Unfortunately, I was at work when I wrote this post and was not able to respond quickly. Since I missed my chance when it was on the main feed, if anyone who reads this could at least invite people to help, that would be appreciated.

Thank you…

Absolutely, but I do feel that our right to assembly is often taken for granted in the states, and that we hold the right to speech and press and such far above it.

I’ve done my share of traveling in my 20 years of life, and I’ve been in countries that have laws I don’t agree with, but I’ve respected them all the same. But laws against protest, in my opinion, violate our most natural law to free belief, from which stems are rights to speech, religion, press, and assembly.

It is not something that I believe depends on the country or political climate.

This would be dangerous for me to do, but something I believe needs to be done.

Well, they aren’t well publicized, but if you live in the right place there isn’t a weekend that goes by without a protest. I live in DC so I’m going to them all the time and it’s always really fun and it always feels productive.

The problem is, within countries that do “shot first and don’t allow discussion” it leads to a national mindset that doesn’t allow for change. But the most important requirement for change is the right education. And I’m not so delusional to think that every country in the world should be a democracy. The US system of government wouldn’t function well in most other countries.

But there is a possible silver bullet available for all the violence, intolerance, inequality and hardship, and it comes by giving the people the necessary tools to change things how they see fit.
