(23,272 posts)Yeah, thank gawd all lady protesters are NOT the same.
When Cindy started she had no idea where her action would go and its beyond disingenuous to say she had an "action plan" before she started.
Most don't. In fact Carolyn Lightner's simple message at the beginning was simply to raise awareness about the devastation of drunk driving. When MADD began to become politicized, changed the core message, and took more direct action like crafting legislation she actually left the organization after leading it for the first 5 years because she really DID want MADD to simply be about raising awareness.
Its bullshit that ALL protesters must have some kind of action plan or their protest isn't authentic. Authentic enough for who? You?
Sometimes education and messaging is all its about and that's okay.
