Anyone else’s approach to social activism changed by motherhood?

The US is falling apart at the seams right now because there are people in the federal government that are intentionally trying to rip it apart. My state is the only state that had all counties vote for the president this past election, and our state government is doing its part to follow the new federal model. I want to protest. I want to scream at the top of my lungs and fight for myself and my family and for folks who can’t fight for themselves. But I’m a mom. A have a 16 month old, and I don’t want him to not have a mom because she got shot at a protest, or for him to be targeted because I work for a public school system and I’m a “woke indoctrinator”, or for him to be unhoused because I lose my job as the main breadwinner because our state superintendent is bonkers. How do yall reconcile this?
