Am I giving up?

If you were in the city this weekend, you know there was a war protest up 2nd Avenue. Walking by with my mom and my grand mom I got really choked up. I had goosebumps seeing priests standing next to gay rights activists proudly holding rainbow flags. It was a great New York moment for me. Then today, walking down Chambers St. in Tribeca, there was a similar protest but this time all high school students. It was so amazing to see these smart, educated and passionate teens rally for something they cared about so much. It made me feel like I should be doing more. I don't know a person who is more against this administration than me, but I'm not protesting. It made me think, does it really make a difference? Will the 2nd Ave/Chambers protests really change anything? Or is it my fault; Am I giving up? I guess voting is my protest against what is going on but should we be doing more? Does it matter? What do you guys think?
