Still the Sign of the Times!

W A M M Action!

Wondering what to do with that Say No to War in Iraq sign? Consider a creative conversion so that you can continue to reuse and recycle your sign.

Sign conversion ideas:
• Paint over the words “with Iraq” so your sign simply reads, “Say No to War.”
• Replace the word “Iraq” with a “?” to indicate the ambiguity of this permanent war of terror.
• Replace the word “Iraq” with the nation of your choice (or a list of nations), such as Syria, North Korea, Iran, etc.
• Turn your sign around. Paint some facts about the war on the back of your sign. Looking for helpful sources for those facts? Go to www.natprior.org, www.costofwar.com, or www.iraqbodycount.com.
• Replace your sign with a “Gardening for Peace” sign. Keep your Iraq sign for future use.
• Or, leave your sign as is. After all, the war of occupation has only just begun.

Sign conversion tips:
• If you are going to paint, use oil-based paints (latex and acrylic paints will crack and peel as the sign flexes in the wind).
• Some signs have been converted by simply taping over words to be changed, then writing over with a marker.

Keep in mind that it is the message that counts!

If you have converted your sign, send WAMM a photo of your work (please send a digital file by e-mail to wamm@mtn.org). We will be posting photos of creative conversions online.
