A pair of climate justice protestors waltzed on stage during Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s talk in Vancouver this Monday. One sign read Climate Justice Now, while the other featured a dark line crossed through the phrase Conservatives Take Climate Change Seriously.
Their secret? Cheap, thrift-store clothing. Local activist Sean Devlin said he and his colleague weren’t even approached by security before they walked on stage. “We just happened to be wearing black dress shirts and black pants and black aprons that we bought at Value Village,” Devlin said. “As soon as we entered the room, people seemed to be treating us like we were supposed to be there. It was quite easy.” The outfit only cost about $7.
