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!
While The Cosmopolitans play, a young woman scribbles a Post-It.	Maria Chiara and Patrick invite passers-by to stop and write a note.
An AEPCer perplexed about how people label her as an “outsider”.	An Indian tourist passing by had the pithiest reason for solidarity.
USC4P&J gave a scientific reason (real, not alternative, science).	The leaflet that AEPC passed out to the English-speaking tourists.
