Exactly. Though at this point, I feel like #MarchForOurLives has one advantage the Women’s March* didn’t - a single, powerful, overriding focus on one issue. It’s much easier to translate that kind of thing into a specific, memorable Call to Action.

*The Women’s March, to me, seemed like more of a “hey, we’re still here” type of protest, and the only CTA I can readily associate with it is, more women should vote and run for office. That’s no small thing, but I still feel like mass protest movements are most effective when they demand a few specific and significant policy outcomes.
