The article focuses on the January 2003 demonstrations held in Washington State opposing the invasion of Iraq by the United States. The author described the different protest signs brought by those who came to the demonstrations, inspired by advice from a columnist for the newspaper "San Francisco Chronicle," telling readers to take their own signs. The author reflected on the effect of mass demonstrations, saying that such activities have the ability to draw people in by making them feel part of a bigger movement and to make the protests visible.
