"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead.
I know, it's a bit of a cliche at this point, but I stand by it. Most, if not all, serious change has been brought about by a plucky group of devoted individuals. The colonial Americans had a comparatively tiny army, compared to imperial Britain, but they won. A small group of determined and indefatigable protesters drove the civil rights movement. We can do this. In Iowa and New Hampshire it has already started.
With 60.4% of the vote, Bernie Sanders has won the state by one of the widest margins in history. The early race is looking like America is ready for a revolution. Revolutions are never easy or unanimous, and we will certainly have a hard road ahead of us, but we must carry this momentum forward, and work to forge the America we all deserve.
They tell us that things can't change. They tell us this to stop us, and count on us to believe it, and spread the lie. But the world has already changed. It's changed in all of us. America is fed up with politicians who govern for the rich and for corporate interests instead of their constituents. We just need to make manifest the change that's already happening inside, and bring it out to our daily lives.
