Lucy's mum sent this cutting from The Guardian letters page from March.
An important aspect of protest is the recognition that so often it changes little, if anything at all. Ultimately protest must not be solely dependent on the necessity of success. It is also about keeping alive qualities that can die if we keep silent and submit. It enables us to carry within us our hope, as well as our despair. It is about endurance and our desire not to see ourselves reduced by the actions of our fellow human beings.
Pretty much stands on its own and if it struck a cord with you then there is a protest this Saturday.
