About This Quote
When you are at a protest or rally, there is a certain energy that radiates from you. You are not just there because you are protesting, but because you are so passionate about what you are fighting for. That feeling of being so anxious to know what comes next, to know how it will change everything, is so powerful. Whether it's the first time at a rally or the hundredth time, each time is special. You feel that sense of being alive and being proud to be part of something that is making this world a better place.
