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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
