Protesters Need to Eat, Too!

Here are a few photos from the capital today. Most of them are signs that are made on Ian's Pizza Boxes.


Ian's Pizza is a local establishment, less than a block from the capital. One night they donated (when asked) their extra food after closing, and ever since, they have been inundated from phone calls around the world. People are donating money so they can feed protesters.
HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT?
I love it. They've got the longer version of the story, and the history of Ian's on their website, but here's a snippet that I think is awesome.



FROM THE IAN's PIZZA Website:
"It takes a leap of faith to call a place you've never heard of, order a pizza that you'll never see, and just hope that those people on the other end of the phone do what they say they will. It's now 9am on Sunday, February 20th, and at last count we had sold over 430 of our signature 20" mac n' cheese pizzas to callers worldwide, and have at least 60 still waiting to be made so we could help feed what has turned into a city within a city.
When this is all over, we'll gather these order tickets, compile a list, post it on our website and Facebook and in-store, and we'll have a final count of who ordered what and just how many people we helped feed.
In the meantime, just know that we are so honored that you have entrusted us with feeding the people you're supporting and we're so grateful for your trust and your business -- thank you so much!"


If you are inspired, you can DONATE HERE

I think this sign was inspired from Jesse Jackson - when he was here, he called us - Superbowl Champions of the Labor Movement.

And . . . since we all need a little humor, I share a photo of a magnet that I almost bought today, from a cute store called Anthology. Seems fitting.

Especially right now.
So . . . I contained myself from buying this magnet, but I couldn't help but buy a few of these and these buttons. I heart craftiness!
