Wear costumes, do some kind of singing, do some stuff that will catch the eye of news! There was a Pikachu at the Turkey protests, and there was a democrat senator who called out the defunding of public television like PBS by saying that Sesame Street would be humorously considered woke to them. Have those characters show up in protests!

I’ve seen lots of artistic stuff from protests. There was like this music band with Trump and Putin puppets. There was also Philly Elmo.

For those who didn't catch Pikachu (got it?) in Antalya, here he is fleeing the fuck away from the police.

Anyway, there's a bunch of music written especially for situations like this. Nothing builds community quite like singing songs together. It's a good time to dust of your grandfather's old Pete Seeger records, practice the songs, and take them with you.

I'm making some effort to revive the community [email protected], which is dedicated to sharing songs of resistance. Feel free to make contributions!
