Protest Nothing

We Cause Scenes

Back to Seattle-Tacoma Improvment Society Discussions

This is something that I have had in the works for a long time and I have now found the forum which could help me complete it. I want to go, in a large group, to Westlake Center, wearing plain white t-shirts, holding blank picket signs, and passing out blank sheets of paper to passer-bys shouting such phrases as "what do we want? nothing! when do we want it? now". I want to do it by the end of next month. Any takers?

Similar to Mr. Spots, we should meet at a coffee shop or something for logistics- but I don't know where everyone is located and what would work best for them. We got just a little time left- and the protest is still planned for West Lake Center where a lot of protests happen. Ok, so I need to now know Wed or Thurs? And what location works best for everyone?; ▶ Reply to This

I would like to Protest Nothing. The 31st works great for me. My schedule is busy this week, but Thursday is clear, so if you have the pre-plan on Thursday, I will be there. I am in Renton, but I am off work at 4:00, so I can be anywhere in the evening. If most people are south-end, then Southcenter works - it definitely works great for me, but I agree with Caleb, since the event is going to be in Seattle, that is also a fair meeting place. If we meet in Seattle I would have the meeting in Pioneer Square; that is away from Westlake where the event is going to occur. After all, we don’t want them getting suspicious or recognizing us :)

Also, Caleb mentioned having shirts printed. I thought the idea was that the shirts were going to be blank white and so where the signs and the fliers.That also keeps costs down.; ▶ Reply to This
