Our politicians should be helping us organize effective protests

Tell them to put their money where their mouths are, so to speak. Bernie sanders was a powerhouse, and could hold so much clout if he made a call to organize. Politicians can do it when they campaign and ask to be voted for, they can do it now too, when they have failed us. Do they really believe the things they say they believe, and are we really their constituents? If we all need to loudly proclaim we are allies of diverse and marginalized, then the people leading our state needs to draw aine in the sand. They are our protection and they should act like it.

Call Bernie Sanders office, Ask for 2016 Bernie back.😭😭 Please Bernie come back

Edit: I'm not saying politicians should do a bunch of work organizing. I'm not saying that tax payer dollars should go towards protesting and organizing. What in saying is, at the very LEAST, Bernie sanders could make some kind of statement to a news outlet, or send out an email to his constituents, or make a Facebook post, and encourage people to organize EFFECTIVELY. Give some tips. Tell the citizens he has their back. Literally anything at this point.

Yes, politicians don't often care about the people. Yes, they might not listen. But the way to make people pay attention is make it matter to them, make it affect them. So if everyone starts calling local government officials and asking pointed questions and putting them on the spot, they are more likely to do things because they are being called out. Heck, we should do it as publicly as possible too. If they all start to actively look bad (not just passively) then they'll make some moves.
