Silence can make an impact, too

Getting the attention of legislators and media around the Capitol is a perennial challenge during the fast-paced session. Yet we did a double-take this afternoon, walking outside of the John L. O'Brien building.

These mimes proved that you don’t necessarily need to scream the loudest in order to grab eyeballs around here. This group called itself the “Poor People’s Block Party” and was attempting to draw attention to how proposed budget cuts might harm society’s most vulnerable citizens.

We’ll keep our eyes out for other creative displays around campus as the session continues.
