Serious Change: Protesting in Professional Attire, October 27th |
 |
On October 27th, United for Peace and Justice will hold simultaneous protests against the Iraq War in 11 US cities. Their coordinated national approach to protesting is important and timely. In support of their efforts, Serious Change calls on activists across the country to join us in wearing professional attire - whether you choose to officially affiliate yourself with us or not.
Our belief, as we have stated before, is that this tactic projects seriousness and determination to the administration and the American people. We stand in solidarity with all protesters. But by reclaiming the symbols of power, we will strengthen the antiwar movement.
So far, we have organizers and supporters committed to attending the New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago protests. We are excited that the movement is expanding, but we believe we can do better. Our goal is to have representatives from Serious Change in as many of the 11 cities as possible. These locations are:
- Boston
- Chicago
- Jonesborough, TN (map)
- New Orleans
- New York
- Orlando
- Philadelphia
- Salt Lake City
- San Francisco
- Seattle
If you live in or near one of these cities and would like to help Serious Change with local organizing, or would like to attend the protest as part of our movement, please visit www.seriouschange.org or contact us at seminal@theseminal.com or 773.396.8266. We also encourage you to sign up for our email list:

If you want our support as you protest, we are excited to help you. We have materials available that explain further how the Serious Change movement’s tactics work. We can put you in touch with other protesters in your area. We will help local activists coordinate their contacts with media outlets. We also have ways for you to follow up on your protest activism by helping to organize further Serious Change initiatives.
We ask for your support. Let’s end this war!
Please sign up and help us end this war!
I think you need some information.
What kind of change do you expect to make?
It sounds like your going to take a bunch of morons in suits and line them up as an intimidation to encourage change.
You can’t bully a bully, but if I’m just being a fine mixture of hasty and lazy please let me know what the game plan is?
