Since when has going through proper govt channels ever worked?

A lot of the biggest successes of US civil rights movements have used proper government channels.

For example, women's suffrage was a constitutional amendment.

Or the Civil Rights Act. It didn't by any means fix all the problems in the US, but it represented real progress.

And then there are the thousands and thousands of lawsuits filed by groups like the ACLU.
