Is there something a single Brussels citizen can do with the current s*afety situation?

I would prefer non-sarcastic/snarky comments and actual advice/thoughts, please.

As a non-Belgian citizen, I couldn't vote in the regional election (seems it wouldn't help either considering the situation) or federal. I voted in local but that won't really affect Brussels overall.

There constantly seem to be strikes but unless I missed something (happy to be told otherwise), no one seems to be protesting the fact that we now have several shootings a week? It just seems like a complete apathy? Where is the push to finally get something done and move past the ridiculous squabbles?

Personally, I am not even that afraid (guess I just approach it like a lightning, you either get hit or not) but I am running out of excuses to tell me SO, who is legitimately unnerved to use the public transport now, which has dodgy people in it and shootings from gang wars. Honestly, I don't think I can reasonably tell them not to be worried.

So what can I do? Is there a protest planned? A petition? Or are we just all gonna accept is as a new normal?
