We need to get more creative if not more disruptive. People are sign waving and gathering and occasionally there are special speakers, but it's pretty much just an open air meetup. Images need to be bolder (not the photos, but the imagery) so organizations like NPR have more to be tell. This Easter weekend it would've been epic and very appropriate to have someone non-White dress up as Jesus, carrying the cross, and have people shout things like, "Vermin! Rapist! You're poisoning our nations blood! Go back to Nazereth!" Depict the horrible rhetoric from the right that wouldn't have made an exception for the Son of God because he wasn't born here.
I also had an idea about a Nationwide effort to basically have a one-minute strike. One minute of doing absolutely nothing and everyone else would be quite freaked out by this, maybe even ask questions.
We can't just make noise, we need to disrupt things.
This is brilliant - make the protests artistically interesting.
Most of the grown-up theater kids are already there anyway.
The main challenge will be making sure the message is still seen as serious. But I think your idea about showing how MAGA are on the opposite side as someone most of them claim to worship is brilliant.
I saw several old people last Saturday dressed like the Statue of Liberty... ? I guess we should have thrown red paint on them and called the local newspaper?
That's actually not a bad idea now that I've written it out.
