No, we shouldn't give up. But the actions you take to get reform change with your understanding of the situation and its barriers. Buying into the current status quo will bring more of the same. That's not to say the only other options are violent. As usual there are options between extremes: radical reform and reevaluation. The first step to this is to speak openly about barriers and the way that things are; about what problems we face and what policies we want and what kind of country we want to be. If you call your representatives once a week, it's not going to hurt so I encourage you to do so. It's just not necessarily the solution.
