Encouraging folks to take a stand in favor of migrants...virtually!

Saturday, May 6th, AEPC organized a highly innovative “virtual demonstration” in favor of migrants and refugees throughout the world: they got a great band (The Cosmopolitans) to play in the square before the Pantheon in Rome and placed large sheets of paper on the pavement, where passers-by were invited to take a stand in favor of immigrants by writing a favorable comment on a Post-It and sticking it on the sheets. Or the passers-by could write, on a slate, why they “stand with immigrants” and get their picture taken with it. The photos and Post-Its then went on the Internet and constituted a de facto demonstration pro-migrants, with no need to convene a large crowd to assemble and thus no need for a permit from the police. Génial!
