Here's the video (hope it works)
Can't do full alt text but here are some quotes:

"We started our veteran sit-in yesterday" [Union Station]

"We educated, informed, and encouraged the national guard. Because our protest is with the military presence in DC, not with the national guard troops"

"Today we showed up for day two of our sit-in and they're gone"

Let's be real: this is a Corita Kent fan account. We unabashedly love her incredible protest art.

Which brings us to the question we're itching to ask you:

Who are your favorite protest artists? What is the activist art that fires up your heart and who are the artists behind it? (Any time period, anywhere in the world.)

We want to hear about the activist art in your heart!

Serigraph (silk screen print) by Corita Kent entitled "for emergency use soft shoulder" from 1966. The top 2/3 shows bold blue, red and yellow letters on a white background. The bottom 1/3 has white text over a red background. The text is a joyous riot of rightside-up and upside-down letters at different angles. It say: "Get with the action. Wine that Rejoyces Man's Heart. Powerful Enough To Make a Different. For Emergency Use Soft Shoulder." Artwork via the Corita Center.

If you're a fan of Corita Kent's artwork, too, we have good news!

The Corita Center is giving away a free download of the poster created by Corita in 1976 for the Campaign for Human Development.

FAO Yvette Cooper:

If you're concerned about terrorists, how about proscribing Homeland a group explicitly organising to strike terror into asylum seekers lodged in hotels across the county.... and by doing so stoke racial conflict.

But of course, you might also say: they have a 'legitimate grievance' & a right to protest; if so, perhaps you might want to listen to the widespread criticism of your decision to proscribe Palestine Action?
