They should refuse to allow anything to go on government-wise until things change," Aimone said. Jenna Reinhardt, a young protester, highlighted the disconnect between lawmakers and constituents, urging them to be more engaged and supportive of acts like New York for All. She emphasized the importance of educating younger generations about current events. "There needs to be a lot of change happening. It starts with protests in the streets. It starts with learning more about your primary elections and even the little elections like mayoral stuff," Reinhardt said.In response to the shooting, several Democratic leaders have pushed for the immediate passage of legislation aimed at holding federal agents accountable.
