    Generally, that’s true.

    But there’s one example where protests have made a ton of change recently: Flock has lost 400 contracts since June. But that’s because the protests have morphed into people actually going to city council meetings.

      Yeah… that’s how protests work. They change the narrative and get people that won’t go to protests to go to city council meetings or to email or call their government officials.
