Is this all for faliure? Or can we turn things around?

My video hasn't gotten a single view within the last 9 days... It is stuck at 36 views. My channel is stuck at 4 subscribers (which is more than I thought, but still). 34 people saw the thumbnail of the video in their own feeds, but only 5 clicked on it. Average watch time is just over two minutes, in a thirty minute long video. This petition was far more successful, approaching 570 views, which is actually pretty big for my first change.org petition, don't get me wrong, but it is stuck at 39 signatures (which is still more than the amount of viewers for my video somehow)... Remember, if any meaningful change needs to happen, it has got to be more than... this. Yes, achievements are there, but to be real, this isn't enough. There also has been a surprising lack of discussion here, with absolutely no comments in this petition, nor in my video.

This isn't all gloom and doom, though. With numbers, we can overpower corporations that care about profits first, before humanity. I chose this mass support route, because pressuring the government this way is probably the most effective way to fix such a big issue. Take a look at what Martin Luther King Jr. did back in the 1960's to gain civil rights in the United States. They were being oppressed by the majority, until they put enough pressure (via mass protests and movements) to finally get what they wanted. Equality.

This method only works, however, when there are enough people to back things up to begin with. So, I kindly ask that I will need your (or *EVERYONE'S*) help. And fast. If you are reading this, which I hope people are checking their emails and checking the updates section of the petition, watch this video, like, subscribe (to help me fight the oppressive algorithm), AND share that video along with this petition that hopefully you signed by now. Share it to everyone you know, don't worry about only doing those who you think will sign it, just share it to everyone you know. The more, the merrier. I also kindly ask that you (and everyone else you know) to comment on my video and/or my petition, to hopefully promote discussion, as this absolutely should be discussed about. This can fix holes and oversights I may have made in my video, and hopefully keep things up to date on information. It is also a good idea to state your opinion in the comments, and to at least acknowledge other's views. You don't have to accept them, but at least this needs to not be... political warfare. All we need right now is common ground that this issue needs fixing now, we can focus on how a little bit later.

Regarding this petition and video for my school project, I still won't know my grades for this project, for at least a while, because this is a finals project, supposed to be completed during final exams before school ends for the year, and grades aren't able to be shown during those periods, and even after (as of right now). This project was also taken for AP U.S. Government and Politics, so I took the AP test (also my first), but I will have to wait until around July before results come. What I do know, though, was that the final wasn't 100%, and I got a 9/10 on research, and I already wanted to revise before that grade was posted, because it was a bit outdated, and I already sensed it wasn't when I was making the video. I basically started from scratch for research. I did get 10/10 on taking action (which meant I successfully engaged with the community) though, and the only piece not graded is the grade for presenting the project to the class, which is 20 points of the final exam grade, which has a 20% weight for the entire semester. I would share the presentation (in this case video) with you all, but because it contains references to teachers in my school, I don't want to disturb their privacy, so I will sadly not share these videos (and probably even any other video than the one I made specifically for YouTube, due to privacy concerns for me and for everyone around me).

That is all the updates I have for you all for now, and hopefully to the one person actually reading this message, spread the word! And remember, this isn't over...
