‘Do you think peaceful protests can be effective?’

Wakanda News Details

‘Do you think peaceful protests can be effective?’

… The most effective form of protest is voting.

Peaceful protests don’t receive enough coverage to get people to act.

The majority of the messages that the media promotes is mostly about fear.”

“It was effective back in the day, but at the same time, we had a lot of change that took such a long time to see.

When something like what happened with Mr. Floyd happens, peaceful protest is a way for us to come together in solidarity, to show that changes need to happen.”
