I need help organizing....please
I have been fascinated by the Holocaust since I was a kid. Every time I see the shoes of the victims in that huge, endless pile it's a knife to my gut I would like congress to see a visual representation of what they are doing to us I want to literally invite them to "put themselves in our shoes." By piling.pairs of shoes representing all the people they are hurting, or in cases like mine quite possibly killing. Baby shoes, work boots, old lady shoes, worn out grandma house slippers, a trans woman's shoes that make her feel beautiful, all the shoes. And pile them on the Capitol steps to represent us. I am too darned sickto organize it myself but I think we seed to find a focal point that represents us all. Almost all of us wear shoes, even amputees. So it's inclusive What is happening in this country affects people from all walks of life, even if we follow different paths. We need to come together. We need action, focus, unity and a reminder of how much we have in common. To pull this off we need:
a dump date, the day we do this protest/art installation.
People to get the word out
Collection sites
People to pick shoes up from collection sites
Storage pods
People to transport the shoes to DC
People to pile the chores on the steps
Coverage,
Is anybody willing to take this protest and run with it?
guys i have this great idea! but i need someone else do all the work for me

I assumed that means OP has fibromalygia but apparently he's been on palliative care for at least the last 7 months. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskChicago/comments/1ejips5/%C3%A7hicago_in_a_wheelchair/
which makes me wonder.. why spend the last bit of your time on this planet being a seething wingcuck instead of taking solace in knowing you won't have to deal with any of this and just make the most of your time while it lasts

I can't imagine being on palliative care, taking a trip with tight funds and using some of the time there to protest at a scientology building. BIPOC you're dying! Enjoy life a little!

Do these people think that it is perhaps disrespectful to the memory of the Holocaust to want to compare all of your stupid small domestic political squabbles to it? Trans women are not being thrown in camps and gas chambers, period.

Yeah those shoes in the holocaust museum weren't willingly donated by their owners. They were stolen before their owners were murdered. That's why it's a powerful image.

Do they know that performative art only ever emotionally moves fat history teachers and that everyone else mostly just rolls their eyes at it?
