The informational picket on campus event was the most exhilarating. Preparing the signs taught me how easy it is to gather the necessary material to go out and march for your cause. In framing the issue of hunger or any other issue, I found that researching the subject and coming up with some catchy slogans, can start a movement just like that. Imagine if people were to see your protest and decided to join and more and more people decided to join – before you know it there is a protest march going on outside a business executive's window, or a shoppe keeper whose products being sold were made in sweatshops. As long as the rules are followed, which are available on the Internet, everyone has the right to a peaceful demonstration. This goes for any movement you wish to either start or participate in an existing movement, branching out on your own. As long as there is organization and agreement a person can voice their dissatisfaction with any injustice or social problem. As long as there is injustice or problem in the world there should be an opposites-attract solution. An individual who is motivated to make change for a better world is the solution. Identifying the "us" and "them" in any campaign and choosing the words carefully to persuade the public to open their eyes and see the most human issues, not the fake issues on Capital Hill can help change policy while educating the public. Certainly the goal is to not alienate anyone but to convey a message that will enlighten certain opposing groups to humanity.
