How can college students afford to do full time camp out style protesting? Don’t they have school work to do? Won’t professors just fail them for not going to class/doing the work (assuming they aren’t).
In: Other
It is very much the norm for protestors (be they college students or full-time employed adults) to forgo their goals and benefits in their personal life in order to protest, whether that means studying and getting the grade you had hoped for, or using your vacation time now instead of for a beach trip later.
Part of the point is demonstrating that your commitment to the issue you are demonstrating about is as (or more) important to you as your personal life goals and desires.
