Why We March

So today I attended the Womens March in LA, and as I often do when I post anything on the internet, I got some backlash. "What is the point?" "Oh cute, all of the women went on a walk together today" "What are you actually changing? nothing!"

Here is the thing, marching does change things. Marches and protests aren't new. They have been the forefront of every major social and political change. Religious rights, sovereign freedom, women's rights, civil rights... these marches have been happening for hundreds of years and they have been the catalyst to the real change. A LOT of change.

And why do people riot? Because they are angry and afraid and they feel helpless and don't know how else to express that. And yes, it does tend to be people in more impoverished areas because they feel they have no way out. Is it right? Probably not. But it is reality and the more it happens the more we have to stop questioning the effect and start questioning the cause. (not saying that there were any riots today, it was definitely all love and peace)

Is the march that I took part in today going to change the world tomorrow? No. I don't believe that anyone who was there today actually believes that. But it is a step forward in making people heard and giving them the strength and motivation to actually make the changes we all want to see. I spoke with so many people today about what is next. What do we do? How do we protect our rights and help the rights of other humans? How do we hold onto this anger and despair but turn it into a positive motivator to change the things causing those feelings?

A protest is a great way to get people off of their computers and phones and into the physical world where they are forced to interact with others and be proactive humans. What am I changing by marching? What are YOU changing by sitting behind your keyboard attacking people? I learned things today. What did you learn sitting alone on your butt in your house eating Cheetos in your underwear reposting unsubstantiated memes that support what you believe without questioning anything you have been fed?

It is easy to complain and attack and victimize ourselves. Express yourself however you want, but also know that it is my right to do the same. It is easy to say all of the things that NEED to happen or that SHOULD happen to make this country better. But you know what? I am going to stop saying and start DOING. You can post all of the angry memes you want-- this is my country and I am taking it back.

  1. I have been following you for about 4years now on youtube and facebook.I have to say that I think you are a beautiful and couragous person. It is not easy to put yourself out there to be judged by others, even more so when your standing up for peoples rights. I have seen some of the horrible comments people have left you for standing up for what you belive in and fighting for others.I think the world needs more people like you who who aren't afraid to speak your mind unprotected by a computer screen.I think thats a huge problem with people on the internet their. Hate os often protected by a screen. Please keep doing what your doing.It means so much Your awesome!!!☺❤

    1. I am Jane Badmus from CANADA,I am very happy today because of what the great Dr. OCUSODO has done in my life. I got married to my loving husband 2 years ago and we were living a happy life together as young couples and everything was moving on smoothly without any problem,6 months later I went to the hospital for checkup and the doctor confirmed that I am three weeks pregnant with my heart filled with joy and my face full of smile and laughter I went home hurriedly to brake the good news to my dearly husband and he was very happy about the news and that night is a night I will always live to remember, to cut the story short after I have put to birth he was very happy, you have to see our bouncing baby boy, but along the line and all of a sudden he started keeping late night and going to club and doing things he don't use to do before, and one mourning I confronted him about his new attitude but he ignore my advice, but to my greatest surprise I discover my husband have a mistress in his working place and they were seeing each other after work hour. on one faithful night my husband came back home and started packing all his belongings and told me that he is tired of me that he is filing for a annulment not knowing that his mistress has cast love spell on him that was why he was acting strange so I told my friend happiness in my working place so she gave me this contact drocusodospellcaster@gmail.com or drocusodospellcaster@yahoo.com an d ask me to contact him that he will help me to bring back my husband in noon less than three days so when I got home I contacted him and he told me that my husband is under a great love spell but he promise to help bring back my husband which he actually did within the period of three days.

  3. I've never understood internet hate. Has anyone ever changed their mind because some random troll insulted them? I also don't like this whole attitude that seems to have taken the country by storm of "Stop protesting! Just accept it!". When a group demands cohesion, disallows their members to question authority, and seeks harmony at all costs, it's called groupthink, an occurrence usually associated with cults, dictatorships, and probably M. Night Shyamalan movies. Some 2/3rds of voters did not vote for the current administration. There are going to be protests, there are going to be marches, and there is going to be civil unrest. We are the majority, we are pissed, and we're still here. There weren't any marches in my area, but I'm so hella proud of my sisters who got out there and marched! I don't care what people are protesting, we should support their right to protest. You can be out there protesting specifically my right to pet cats, and I'll still support your right to protest. When we lose that ability to be angry and speak our minds in public, we've lost the foundation that this country was founded on. So, get out there, and give them hell. Give them peaceful hell, but hell nonetheless.

  9. I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor ODUMODU brought back my husband that separated with me for one good year. Am ALENNA by name from ROMANIA. Even though i have mouths all over my body, it won't be enough to thank Doctor ODUMODU for his help upon my life. My husband separated with me for one year and have been in pains and agony without him. So, i searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out not until i meant Doctor ODUMODU. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 48 hours as far that my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Doctor ODUMODU said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him...Email:drodumodusolutions@gmail.com

  13. Perhaps this will give you a different perspective from a moderate conservative that fought for gay rights in my state and believes that everyone should just learn to mind their own business and love eachother. If you don't like guns, don't buy guns. Think abortion is murder, don't have an abortion. Don't like gay marriage, don't get gay married. I just live my life my way and others should live it their way. My husband is a funeral director. His job keeps us reminded that life it way too short to care about the opinions of others. Everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want in this country, unless you're a Republican. https://townhall.com/columnists/amyclark/2018/11/15/voteshaming-is-the-new-get-back-in-the-kitchen-n2536001

  19. Hello Viewers. Life has been so miserable after my Husband broke up with me 2 year ago. I never thought he could hurt me just like that then i realized how much i loved him. When he ended our relationship and i had to look for options to make sure i get him back to myself because i wasn't living fine anymore. I was directed to a Babalawo known as Dr Ogbeifun by a family friend who claimed he helped her with Court case, and protection in her work to go higher than others. Then I contact with the Babalawo and i was surprised and amazed when my Husband came back to me with he knees on the floor pleading to me for forgiveness to take he back as my lover. I thought i was dreaming because all this happened just within 24 hours and it happened as the spell Doctor as said. For that wonderful encounter with this man, i took a decision on my path that i will let the world know about DR OGBEIFUN for he's able and capable to solve any problems. Get in touch with him email : ifababalawospelltemple@gmail.com
