100% all of this. I go to some of our local meetings and keep asking - what does this serve - the big protests?! What comes next? How are we going to capture the enthusiasm for the long run?! There are several who realize that we are in this for a long run. And we incorporate that into the training/orientations. But quite a few think they showed up Saturday, did their part and are going to be done. sigh.

Our local group has a week of action this week and then continues through. But OMG yes - they seem to forget that some of us work and can only do weekends! Or need some time to accommodate weekday activities.
