Do you feel you can change things?

Hey folks!
So, if you guys realise that you are unhappy with a certain political (or organisational: like your school or workplace) issue, how much power do you feel like you have to change things?
Because it is one thing to notice injustice, but it's another thing to feel motivated to make a change, and I realise that so many people really are pessimistic about change. That makes sense because it is difficult and it can be hard to see activism pay off (it has taken me a while!)... but that can hold us back from trying.
We are planning to start making a lot of new content about activism and do whatever we can to make it easier for all you budding placard wavers out there, to make our worlds a better place.
I feel pretty lucky to be around all of you here on scarleteen so anything I can do to help with this stuff will be my pleasure!
