198 Sundays: So What Did You Do This Week?

Compared to my first time at the Code Pink house, this really was a joyous week of action--not to say I didn't have fun learning with my new friends back then, but there was less of a sense of hope and potential change.  We still used many of the same Methods, though perhaps in slightly modified ways:

• 6. Group or mass petitions
• 7. Slogans, caricatures, and symbol
• 8. Banners, posters, and displayed communications
• 9. Leaflets, pamphlets, and books
• 15. Group lobbying
• 19. Wearing of symbols
• 26. Paint as protest
• 32. Taunting officials
• 35. Humorous skits and pranks
• 37. Singing
• 43. Political mourning
• 54. Turning one's back

Note that we did not court arrest or engage in any more intense psychological or physical intervention.  Starting anew with protest and persuasion, leaving room for escalation as the Obama Era wears on...
