Protesters Take a Fashionable Stand

This is not a political website but I do like to feature people who use fashion to further political causes. It is a really creative way to draw attention to the issue and if a group does it well, the use of fashion and costumes can be very effective. Today’s post illustrates how fashion can get somebody’s attention.

About a week ago my boyfriend and I were out and about, enjoying the late summer weather when we saw a group of protesters wearing masks and cool costumes. The masks got my attention right away. I got the impression that these protesters felt the need to hide their faces, which added to the eerie nature of the protest.

They were protesting Scientology. If what I have read about the organization is true, then it is probably a good idea that they hid their faces. The educated about what they believe in and it was fashion that made me stop and ask to be educated.

They asked me to display their flyer.. I said sure!
