PROTEST PLATFORM / MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MESSAGE IS BROADCAST CLEARLY, BUILD A STABLE MODULAR STAGE USING VEGETABLE CRATES
Literally giving protesters the stage. Help fellow protesters see as well as hear you. This can influence the dynamic of the gathering by giving the protest a focal point and creating a unified front. By having one focal point it is easier to convey a unified message. Having a stage allows the speakers to interact and relate better to the crowd, and vice versa. This also can allow a spotlight for viral documentation, making sure the message is spread.
​
The stage design uses cardboard vegetable boxes. These boxes are immensely strong when the weight is evenly distributed to the corners. This can be done strapping a plywood over the pile with a ratchet. The stage dimensions are based on how you arrange the boxes allowing you to decide on the height and size. Vegetable crates are very accessible so any size protest can easily build a stage.
