We are listening, but honestly I don't know that to do. I feel helpless and scared (which is what they want, of course).

I feel the same way. What exactly can we do other than vote? Protesting doesn't seem to actually work (in America anymore at least).

Have you tried prolonged, painful protest? That’s what I am preparing myself to do, mind, body, and soul.
Honesty feeling hopeful for the first time in awhile, bullish on protest and I think that tech can be leveraged in a significant way

Maybe you are right and I won't pooh-pooh anybody who participates, but what about when Freddie Grey was killed? Similar thing happened in 2015, protests around the country and that didn't seem to accomplish anything. The protests now are much larger it seems this time, but unless they go on for a while (which I hope they do), I just don't see anything changing. It seems like law enforcement isn't going to have a sudden change of heart because people are telling them they are wrong and local politicians don't seem to be effective at enacting change in their police departments.

The American people made their preferences clear in the 2016 election. That clearly does not work.

Default on debts, boycotts, deplatforming and platform advantages that could be leveraged. Lots of ways to cause pain where it hurts most...
