In Girlcott, Desma comes up with a very clever slogan, which her friend’s brother then painted on a placard for her to use at the boycott. Can you create something as clever?
Either on your own or as a pair, create a slogan to protest something you are passionate about going on in the world today (war, racism, sexism, the environment, etc.), then draw it out on posterboard. Be as creative as you can!
