There are a lot of things that people can do and to make a change is easier than people believe. Something as simple as a million of people boycotting corporations and not using their services for a week would create a precedent so big and a chain reaction that could affect the entire economy. Governments and people in power spend billions to keep the system rigged as it is, every single little thing you do to make things better makes it harder for scum to keep on with their evil schemes.
Getting a million people coordinated to do something in this world of maximum apathy is a huge feat, not easy

You could write letters and emails to your federal and state representatives expressing your opinions on this subject? Hell you could even send them links to the site from this post and sites like it. Then you could also help your friends and family come to the same opinion as you and help them write their own letters and emails.
