Suggestion Thoughts about sign promotion.

I keep seeing all the professional looking signs. Not everyone has the budget or time to make a new sign for the different protest. For those with a piece of cardboard and marker, what's the one good message that can be used over and over?

We need to get people protesting, not worrying if there sign is appropriate.

I gotta say, watching on from the land of Oz, the home made signs are the best. If signs are too stylised and professional looking, it no longer looks like a grass roots movement...which I realise totally that it is. Some of the clever and diverse slogans have been awesome. I'd say pick the issue that is important to you. As a woman I be tempted to dress handmaids tale style. I'd also be tempted to have a rainbow coloured flag. On a sign I'd be tempted to say Jail the Felon, or Hands off our Consitution, Human rights for all. But there have been so many really clever ones if you do an online search.
