I voted in the November election. I called my representatives. My plan invited me to a protest over immigrants getting deported.That isn't nothing, but I have very little power on a federal level. The next step is getting involved in local politics and the community, but I am simultaneously moving and live far away.

I can talk to people about it, but the difficult part is not talking but getting people to truly listen.

So yes, ordinary people are limited in their power and capacity even if these adds up.
