If you are ever interested in attending a protest and want to bring a sign but do not have the creativity to come up with something new – or you do not know what the protest is for – here is something anybody can use.
Sometimes all you have to do is show up, and you can find one from someone else, but for a sign that’s perfect for taking it to one protest after another, this option springs to mind. After all, protesters are generally angry about something. It’s not as if they are simply turning up and perfectly content about everything in the world. They have a bone to pick!
Give Me a Sign
Over the years, Westboro Baptist Church has seen a lot of picketing by its members. And there have also been a lot of protests over the years too. Despite these incidents often revolving around serious topics, such as LGBTQ and reproductive rights, protesters often find weird, funny, and creative ways to express their views.
Take this young lady, for example, who thinks it’s bizarre that she needs to use a cardboard sign to make some kind of point. We can’t help but see the correlation between a literal sign and a sign from a higher power, which she may be alluding to.
Baby President
When you think of the American dream, it’s all about the idea that anyone can make it in this wonderful country, no matter where they came from and the challenges they were born into. We assume though that this little lady was born in the US.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for her to hold up this sign. After all, only people who were born in America can one day run for office. It’s worth noting, though, that although she can be president, that doesn’t necessarily mean that she wants to be. But the fact that she has the option means the world.
You're a Protester, Harry
Listen, if you are going to protest at a university in London, then it’s best to appeal to the audience in a language that they’ll understand. We recommend using terms straight out of the Wizard World of Magic. Exhibit A. To be fair, students at Hogwarts saw some dark stuff happen over the years.
Most notably, that fateful moment when Voldemort took over the school for a minute before being overthrown by Harry Potter. Sorry, maybe we should have written “spoiler alert” before mentioning that. But shame on you; those movies have been out for more than a decade already.
No Means No
Sometimes, all it takes to make a point at a protest is to write the least number of words imaginable. And sometimes, all it takes is one word to say everything. In fact, we would go as far as to say that all protests can be condensed into one unifying word. That’s right, folks. That word happens to start with “N” and end with an “O.”
Seeing all of these NOs flying above a sea of hands is a pretty powerful image if we do say so ourselves. We just hope that all of those nos actually made a difference. And if they didn’t, maybe the protesters could’ve been a little bit more imaginative.
