The Big List of Protest Signs

[BigmanPigman]

7. Make your signs double sided!!!!!

That's what I've done for the 33 protests I've attended in San Diego. You get more bang for your buck!

I use a 3/4" diameter dowel so I can twirl it easily. I also a use white foam core board as the base to glue/tape my signs to. It is light but study and it has lasted all 33 times and has many more protests left in it.

My signs are heavy duty as far as sturdy goes and they can withstand winds and they are not heavy in weight.

Since I am a trained illustrator my designs are professional looking and I reuse them, sort of cut and paste.

Also I am only 5'1 1/2" tall and 84 pounds so I need a sign I can carry without getting tired or blown over.

In San Diego the June 14 NO KINGS had 80,000 protester as 2 marches within q mile merged into one huge protest.

On Oct 18th, there are 3 protests within 1 mile of each other.

I have had 3 signs ready for Oct 18th since it was announced in Sept. I lend them to friends/family if they ask nicely.

Also, from now on I only will go alone. I have gone with others to half of the protests over the years and I prefer going alone. Other people think of it as a social gathering and a photo op for their signs. Not me!!!!!

When I protest I MUST be at the front (so I can hear the megaphones and chants). Also, I walk super fast and weave in and out of the crowds so I can be at the front. If anyone wants to take a photo of me or interview me (this happens often) they can do it before the march while I am standing at the stage, listening to the various speakers.

This is a protest and I take it very seriously. I am passionate and I want to be seen and heard as an American citizen, DAMN IT!!!!!
