why did you give an evasive answer?
why do you condone a hypocritical money grubbing punk to BS his way across America talking "change" while cruising around with armed bodyguards? Why should ALL kids have armed bodyguards?
ESQ: People often grow a bit defeatist and think, “I’m just one person. What can I do?” How can people young and old who care about the issue of gun violence affect positive change and get involved in their communities?
DH: Obviously vote, but if you can’t do that, something that I’d say you can do right now is, if you want to join March For Our Lives, you can text CHANGE to 97779 to help join our national group and volunteer. If you don’t think you can have an impact just because you’re one person: I’m sitting in New York City right now in a skyscraper because a group of people worked together to build this. It’s the individual effort of everybody working together towards a collective goal that causes real, effective change in America and in the world. If every person doesn’t believe in themselves, nothing happens. I wouldn’t be sitting here right now if people didn’t believe in themselves. If people just make the simple act of believing that they can have an effect on the world and they can end the silence, they’re more than halfway there, because I know they will.
The best way you can do that, again, is text CHANGE to 97779, and if you want to start, talk to your parents, work on political campaigns, work with politicians that aren’t Democrats or Republicans, but are Americans and human beings. That aren’t going to serve at the hand of a special interest, but at the hand of their constituents who voted them into office. |
