My state leaders continue to speak up and do what they can, from representatives to governor to attorney general. Colleges in my state that have been attacked continue to resist. Any attempts at ICE raids are followed by protesters Maybe our protests get ignored by the regime but if it encourages our state politicians to continue acting in our interest, then it makes a difference.

A few protests change nothing but it does help organize and network. Many people have no connection to their community and this is that chance

Protesting is the first step towards change, not the last. Hopefully the movement can gain enough momentum for a general strike or something.
