Attention-Getting Activist Activities

Social media censoring. The brain-dead stares of our families and friends. How might we reach more like-minded people in our own communities?

We all have our online groups that we can openly share information with. We share facts, ask and answer questions, truly interact with. However, I'm seeing the same thing over and over that people are not connected with like-minded individuals in our own communities. People stating they are afraid to go out, afraid to socialize with friends and family due to being made uncomfortable for having more than two functioning brain cells. Maybe what we need to do is go out more, but armed with info.

It's obvious that we need to work toward educating others. Social media posts of accurate information are being shadowbanned, deleted, blocked and accounts restricted or suspended for sharing facts really have an impact on how many people we are able to inform. We are pretty much reduced to discussing facts and information in a bubble, preaching to the choir, and not really having much of an effect on increasing the number of people who can finally see through this pathetic, overused Boogeyman Bug 'B' movie script.

Expressing our anger and frustration in protests, angry mobs, insults and other negative-energy strategies may not be the way to win this one. There may be another, more effective, positive energy, attention-getting strategy to educate our own communities, without being offensive. Here's what I'm thinking: Art.

LEGAL NOTE: Before planning any event, check local ordinances for gathering limits without a permit. Make sure to keep all interactions non-violent. Do not deface or destroy property.

Go to the grocery store in full PPE, scuba gear or other outrageous outfit. Do a dance routine down a main street. Film a local background and use green screen software to create whatever reality you want to convey. Wander through town and write common hash tags on the sidewalks with sidewalk chalk. Wear a well-ventilated box on your head. How about a five gallon bucket with shoulders cut out? Be sure to drill air holes in for adequate ventilation. Get what few people you actually know who have some courage and go grocery shopping together in full PPE. Print hash tags such as #SCAMDEMIC #COVID1984 and such on the back. Imagine the impact of 30 people grocery shopping wearing PPE? Or 100 people wandering around the mall in PPE? Or boxes or whatever. Think 'FlashMob'.

Spread information with hand-outs that contain links to reputable sources. You could even hand write hash tags on business card sized paper and hand out. Be prepared to hand out contact information to other like-minded individuals in your area you will likely meet along the way.

For those who have experience with green screen technology, we can play their game right back at them. We don't actually have to go anywhere, just look like we do ;o)

If any of those who read this do any creative activist activities, send links to pics/video/website via twitter and I will be sure to share whatever I receive. ( @REALITYofJNJ )

I added the images below to twitter using the hash tag #COVIDmania.
