SIGNAGE!

Signs-- can protest without one!  Well you can, but it's not as much fun ;)

Ideas:

Power to the People Love! Not hate! Makes America great! My body, my choice! No justice!” / “No peace! Choose to Be United by Love Not Divided by Hate The Power of the People is Stronger Than the People in Power No one is free when others are oppressed Girls Just wanna have fundamental rights! Power to the Peaceful Protest is Patriotic There is no planet B

Here's a Pinterest board with some more ideas... if you have any other ideas, let me know ;)

The Graphing Calculator Story

When His Project Was Canceled, an Unemployed Programmer Kept Sneaking Into Apple to Finish the Job   via Mental Floss

The Graphing Calculator Story by Ron Avitzur

Why did Greg and I do something so ludicrous as sneaking into an eight-billion-dollar corporation to do volunteer work? Apple was having financial troubles then, so we joked that we were volunteering for a nonprofit organization. In reality, our motivation was complex. Partly, the PowerPC was an awesome machine, and we wanted to show off what could be done with it; in the Spinal Tap idiom, we said, "OK, this one goes to eleven." Partly, we were thinking of the storytelling value. Partly, it was a macho computer guy thing - we had never shipped a million copies of software before. Mostly, Greg and I felt that creating quality educational software was a public service. We were doing it to help kids learn math. Public schools are too poor to buy software, so the most effective way to deliver it is to install it at the factory.
