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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
