Our protests – on the streets and in everyday actions – have turned into a whimper at best. Surely, it’s hard to keep up – which latest horror should we focus on: ending of temporary protected status for Haitians, an ongoing genocide, a distant war that is killing our young men and destroying resources that can alleviate poverty within our borders.
