“Activists have not been passive. For decades, we have tried every tactic to shift the course of our governments. We have voted, written editorials and manifestos, donated money, held signs, protests in marches, blocked streets, shared links, signed petitions, held workshops, knitted scarves, learn to farm, turned off the television, programmed apps, engaged in direct action, committed vandalism, launched legal challenges against pipelines . . . and occupied the financial districts. All this has been for naught. A new approach to activism and a new kind of protest are desperately needed.”
Micah White“The Adequate Protest demands far more than protests. It calls for Great and Daring Leaps of Integrity and Courage to See.”
Mary Daly“If you give up every time you don't achieve the immediate gain you want, you're just guaranteeing that the worst is going to happen... You can't expect an easy victory after one protest march.”
Noam Chomsky, Imperial Ambitions: Conversations on the Post-9/11 World“We don't persuade our neighbors by mimicking their angry power-protests. We persuade them by holding fast to the gospel, by explaining our increasingly odd view of marriage, and by serving the world and our neighbors around us, as our Lord does, with a towel and a foot-bucket.”
Russell D. Moore, Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches“We've got to make change our national pastime and hold protests more regularly than weekend parties.”
Rivera Sun, Steam Drills, Treadmills and Shooting Stars - a story of our times -“...The coarse rhetoric and reduction of women to violently empty reproductive organs isn't a great way to argue against Trump's vulgarity. The unhinged rhetoric, violent anti-speech street protests,and hysteria currently on display don't make Trump look like he's a unique threat.”
Mollie Hemingway“It's not the fact that some people disagree with the protests. That is as much a right as the protests themselves. It is the hateful, profane, condescending way some have expressed their discontent that baffles me. How do you criticize actions you've deemed disrespectful and divisive and an affront to civilized behavior with rhetoric to the same end? That's like the devil judging the Grim Reaper for harvesting souls.”
Carlos Wallace“Sometimes the very things that we’re expending our lives to sustain are the very things that are killing our ability to live. And against our blind and frequently raging protests, these are the very things that God let’s die so that we can live.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough“Protests can sometimes, necessarily, simplify things.”
Madam Secretary“The monuments of the nations are all protests against nothingness after death so are statues and inscriptions so is history.”
Lew Wallace
