It's funny you should say that, Jenna. At protests and just in conversation we've been asked, 'Well, what has CoS done to harm you?' or 'Why do you care?'
Sometimes it's hard to answer that question, especially since you have to stop to boggle that you live in a society when selfishness is expected. It's awkward when you're made to feel like you're wrong to protest something that hasn't personally affected you, like you're not justified in saying anything.
Sad as that is, that's also the reason we need you guys to shout as loud as you can. We've got your backs, to keep the CoS from targetting you strongly and keeping you down-- but we need you to be the voices that Joe Schmoe will listen to, because you've -been- there, and you've seen the truth. You're the expert.
This wouldn't work without any part of it.
As a side note, it's sort of cool to think that everybody's doing this for any reason other than one to 'take credit' for anything. We can't take credit.. we're anonymous. Nobody's in it for power or fame, and that's why it's working.
Never alone.
