The right to protest is under threat in more than 30 countries. Rubber bullets are filed under "less-lethal." The eye patches in the crowd say otherwise.
So we re-engineered the protest sign. Seven layers of fibreglass behind a cardboard panel, mounted on two handles. A sign that stops rubber bullets and still says what it came to say. This sign is bulletproof. Our rights should be too.
It launched in the middle of a live protest in Paris, spread to demonstrations in other countries and opened a debate in France on changing the law. Le Monde, BFM TV and Europe 1 covered it. RFI put it simply: "Protesters are now protected."
