I am pondering why we can t stimulate that type of interest and numerical showing in issues that stem beyond sexual violence. Perhaps it is because participating in other activism makes us realize that we are all the perpetrators of violence through injustice because of our place in society. And if you are not a part of the solution you become part of the problem. I am in no way making the statement that the rally against violence was less credible than other forms of activism. Please do not misunderstand me.
All activism is ultimately beneficial.
I have thought about the state of activism at Wesleyan a lot. This is not to say activism is totally dead. There are many, many hard working organizers on this campus whom I respect and admire. Yet, we don t do that much. Monday was, aside from Take Back the Night, the most well attended rally I have seen at Wesleyan yet.
