“The march itself is not the end game,” said Tamika Middleton, Managing Director of Women’s March. “The march itself is a tool, is a mechanism to bring more folks into the movement and get more folks engaged.”

I've been both a participant and an organizer of many protests. A few years ago I started wondering whether the ways we used to look at protesting might just be outdated. The Internet, for instance, opened up as a new way to reach people about an issue. I have had several web sites, for instance, freely giving out information and documentation to anyone with a computer. There is such a divers and prolific amount of information in the world nowadays, it's difficult to concentrate like-minded people into one day's and one place's activity.
So for now, this is still something I'm pondering. If not protests, then what? Youtube videos? Lots of blogging? I don't know.
