In one of my last posts** I was talking about watching the Paris Climate protests, and wondering when we, protesters, would stop making it so easy for the police to surround us?
I frequently muse on adapting the "hands across" theme to protests. Human chains a mile long instead of centrally located for easy arrest.
Guerilla Theatre needs to be more widely adopted. The Ferguson protests were a stunning display and inspiration. Business as usual ceased to exist in St. Louis, and perhaps in many other areas. There was an element of surprise, of a new generation and invention, in every protest.
I love flash mobs and performance art. I think a new approach could be to have one person out protesting openly, and make a scene when the police showed up. Not a violent scene, but just very loud and insistent.
And tens or hundreds or thousands watching. Recording. Witnessing. And then participating. Like a thunderstorm that comes out of nowhere on St. Louis summer day.
A flash mob would be a good Five for Eleven. My post about doing 5 extra political acts a month for 11 months every year, beginning on 5 November.
Remember, remember, the time we took control of the world?
Blessings, peeps.
