Latest report on Laddies and Ladies Against War demonstrations at I-74 and Prospect, as gleaned from tonight's AWARE meeting. |
More street theatre than usual at Prospect and I-74 (the gateway to the superstores) on Saturday. Actors included an anti-war superhero, and several others. Blindfolded figures holding the scales of justice and tied together displayed a sign saying, "who knows what's going on, who sees what's going on, who cares what's going on?" A man on stilts manipulated a person representing the media. At one point, a belligerent police officer stopped the protesters and threatened to arrest them if they walked on the road. Protesters received wide attention, much more than during the previous several months when demonstrators simply held signs. People were gaping, smiling, and honking. The action succeeded in drawing quite a lot of attention.
Ladies Against War is an ongoing demonstration begun in October 2001. |
