Since I am working on a longer piece that HAS to be done by asap, I will simply shower you with a bunch of portraits today from 2 chapters of the Red Rebel Brigade, San Francisco and Portland.

These are the words from their founder, Doug Francisco

THE RED BRIGADE

The red brigade symbolises the common blood we share with all species,
that unifies us and makes us one.
As such we move as one, act as one and more importantly feel as one.
We are unity and we empathise with our surroundings,
we are forgiving,
We are sympathetic and humble, compassionate and understanding,
We divert, distract, delight and inspire the people who watch us,
We illuminate the magic realm beneath the surface of all things and we invite people to enter in,
we make a bubble and calm the storm,
we bring the change,
we are peace in the midst of war.
We are who the people have forgotten to be!

And here is another mission statement: Extinction Rebellion is an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience to achieve radical change in order to minimise the risk of human extinction and ecological collapse. Musicians, artists, poets, and performers of all sorts have joined the protestors to help people to be together, to be calm, to express our humanity and emotions.  

Music today was donated by Radiohead to the cause.

Now back to to work……
