Sometimes protests do inspire me to act, but there's a certain level of despair caused by knowing how corrupt American government is. Will my decision to risk my life for a cause be seen as a genuine wish to have a better life and environment for my fellow Americans, or will it be seen as a violent anti-government riot? For me, acting also includes staying up to date with current events in politics, policy, etc. and doing my best to minimize bias, which means understanding the other side's points and why they believe them.
