31. Take a closer look at how change actually happened.

The American Revolution required a lot of violence and took years.

The Civil Rights movement required people accepting violence - vicious attacks on their bodies and lives, assassinations - and took years before Congress was forced to act.

Our current Republican-controlled Congress doesn't care if you take to the streets. They are ramming their own agenda through at lightning speed.

Yes, organize. Fight. But know that it will take years and it won't be easy at all and you might die. In the meantime, be sure to vote wisely. Democrats aren't perfect but we need to put the Republicans out of power.
