Mucha gente piensa que las manifestaciones no son formas efectivas para traer acabo cambio.

Cual Es El Punto De Las Protestas?
riaclu.org

En Portland Oregon desde que se supo que Trump ganó la presidencia se han organizado y manifestado protestas al igual que en otras ciudades a través del país. Pero mucha gente no ve el punto de estas protestas, y no les gusta que se muestren estas manifestaciones en sus ciudades por diferentes razones.

Cual es el punto de protestar? En realidad cambia algo? Ayuda en algo?

La respuesta a esas preguntas es que si. El protestar es una forma efectiva e histórica de demostrar resistencia contra la cosas/ideas que están protestando, y solidaridad entre las comunidades siendo afectadas. La protesta es solo una forma de organizarse y también es acompañada con otros esfuerzos y acciones dirigidas al cambio.

De acuerdo con civilliberty.about.com, las protestas tienen impacto al hacer cosas como demostrar visibilidad de la causa, demuestra poder en números, promueve solidaridad, crea relaciones entre activistas, y energiza a los participantes.

Mucha gente está enojada por el vandalismo que se tomo acabo durante la protesta el jueves por la noche, o por la obstruction de tráfico. Es importante reconocer que la protesta fue organizada como una protesta pacífica y gente que no considero como nos afectarían sus acciones, vandalizaron y dañaron negocios cercanos. Y mientras tengo que admitir que la obstruction de tráfico quizás sea algo enfadoso, la gente que voto por Trump y la gente que no esta en solidaridad con nosotros no tienen por qué decirnos cómo nos deberíamos de sentir, actuar, o protestar. Tenemos todo derecho de estar enojados, tristes, o furiosos. Lo que para ellos es una enfadosa obstrucción de tráfico para nosotros es un evento que se manifiesta porque sentimos que nuestras vidas están en peligro.

Me tocó atender una manifestación el miércoles por la noche y la verdad no hay palabras para describir lo que sentí al ver gente de todas razas y colores, en solidaridad con las comunidades que Trump a amenazado. Tenemos voz y vamos a ser escuchados.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
