Some of the protesters say they are seeing changes slowly there.

PERSONAL OPINION:

Not only in America but also in many other countries, people are realizing that things are not going well. The only solution I found for people to the problems of today is going out and protests. I think the protests, strikes and demonstrations work, but the changes aren’t drastic. We will observe that the things change gradually.
