3 & 4
Reading the book, it talked about being able to make a change, but it is important to get people that are well known to be able to make that change. For example, When AIDS/HIV came to America, they called it the "gay disease." The LGBTQ+ community started movements, but what they were doing wasn't enough. They had to get people that were well known, that were wealthy, etc. that helped them be more successful with their movement(97).
I guess this makes me think about people that are in poverty that needs help. The world knows that poverty is a problem, but what are the steps we are taking to resolve the problem? We are going through a pandemic and people are losing their jobs, suicide rates are going up, divorce rates are going up, people are broke, but we only had two stimulus checks?
It makes you think if the government really cares about their people. Yes, people that are well known, wealthy, or both can open some doors for you. The government is has the say so and they are aware of the problems that America have. When will things truly change?
