That's all well and good but refuting this administration is going to take more than a strongly worded letter.
Yes, but as a very busy person (working full time, parent of 5 kids), it's all I can really do right now.
I thought it might be a good idea to get a protest going every evening where people go out and bang their pots and pans for a few minutes, just on the doorstep or walking the block doing it with neighbours. Here in england we did it for weeks to support our health service during covid, but it's been used to protest many times around the world. I guess it's something which needs organisation to get a lot of people on board but its convenient, safe and hard to ignore when a lot of people keep doing it.
That sounds like it could annoy your neighbors while the people in power have no idea it's even happening.
There is such a thing as the media. I started banging my pan because I heard my neighbours doing it and looked it up. Then again, people here don't usually have guns. The idea is that it goes on for a long time and winds up being reasonably widespread. Also it's an expression of solidarity.
