Apathy doesn’t create movements. Indifference doesn’t illicit change. When Gandhi and 60,000 Indians marched in protest of British rule in 1930, they weren’t impassive. When, in 1965, 3,200 nonviolent demonstrators marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, during the course of five days, they weren’t wavering. And when more than a million people of every generation, background and orientation marched across the United States for gun control in 2018, they weren’t nonchalant. Today, we’re talking about the power of those who stand together in anger and sadness and purpose to make a difference. We’re talking about how much bigger and louder our voices are when they’re in unison.
