I know its “popular” to feign concern about shit now, but seriously, if you are REALLY concerned you would ACTIVELY search for a space where people are discussing this & creating an action plan to address it locally, & if you don’t find an organization that does that, START ONE.
THAT 
is what the WORK IS. That is called ORGANIZING; which should NOT be mistaken for MOBILIZATION.
e.g. Black & Indigenous nurses & OBGYNS starting an organization RE addressing birth equity issues & maternal mortality rates (MMR).
e.g. having a protest about Black MMR.

Do y’all see the point here, what I’m attempting to illustrate?
THEY ARE MURDERING US ALL THE TIME & MOST OF WHAT WE DO IS MOBILIZE.
Protesting is a TACTIC, not a principle. It barely even benefits us to simply just “protest” something. Every time we do the police get paid OT.

Social revolution & intellectual revolution are within our grasp & they ALWAYS have been.
CHANGING HOW WE MAKE DECISIONS/ACT* is executed through PRACTICE at the day-to-day level.

I’ll elaborate. Reflect on these questions:
1: How much time do you spend per week reading political education materials RE topics you have not studied about?
2: Are you a member of a community organization that is addressing the present social problems?

3: How do you treat people of varying sociopolitical positions in relation to yours?
4: What subversive acts do you take to combat & organize against these social problems? How often do you do them?

The ONLY way to LEARN is by DOING, which ultimately is PRACTICING.
For instance, if I don’t DO anything with the information that I have about a problem then that means I likely haven’t considered my own role in the reproduction of said social problem.
