A mere hint for inspiring suggested protest activities

• Dance Flash Mob - Take the lead from this group who will perform to “I’ve Got the Power” in San Francisco Civic Center Plaza.
  
  
• Knit-In - Plop yourself in a circle with friends and knit away your frustrations. (Bring a sign declaring what you’re doing.)
  
  
• Chalk the Walk – Cover public sidewalks or plaza spaces with colorful chalk messages, drawings, or slogans. Kids, grandparents—anyone with hands—can join. Washes away with rain, but photos last forever.
  
  
• Wearable Protest Gallery – Invite people to decorate T-shirts, hats, or tote bags with protest art and then all show up in public together. You become a walking gallery.
  
  
• Paper Airplane Petition – Write demands or messages on paper planes, decorate them, and “launch” them together at a symbolic site (then pick them up—environmentally friendly protest!).
  
  
• Community Banner Quilt – Give each participant a fabric square to decorate with markers or paint, then stitch or tape them together into a massive banner to display publicly.
  
  
• Human Statue Garden – Volunteers freeze in place holding signs or wearing masks for several minutes in a busy area—like living sculptures people have to walk around.
  
  
• Sound-Off Minute – Everyone gathers with pots, pans, bells, or instruments for exactly one minute of synchronized noise—short, startling, and impossible to ignore.
  
• Living Slogan Line – Stand in a row, each holding one giant letter on cardboard, spelling out a rotating set of phrases. Letters can shuffle to change the message every few minutes.
