Toys are people too! Say no to war toys! We love toys!
Revolutionary Games invites you to spend the month of April playing with your toys. Yeah, you heard me. We know you've got some dusty box with a couple legos or Ninja Turtles somewhere in your closet. Or maybe you've got an old teddy bear or sock puppet stuffed under your bed. It's time to dust them off and bring them back to life!
We need a way to share our ideas and concerns in a way that's fun, playful, and non-violent that anyone -including kids and parents - can get involved with. Keep up with us on specific actions here or on our tumblr (http://revolutionarygames.net)
Some starting points:
- Since we always seem to get arrested for exercising our rights, we'll let the toys protest for us. Create a protest diorama or scene, set it up in public, and make your voice heard! (Some inspiration:

- Protest sexism and the marginalization of women and people of color in the toy industry! Lego is a good starting point...(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lyn-mikel-brown/legos-for-girls_b_1172876.html)
- Day of action and puppets: "Say no to war toys!" More to come...
- Hidden messages: Leave behind a message in your favorite toy store for someone to read. You may see some Guy Fawkes masks around the city...just sayin...
So take some inspiration from this or create your own #ToyProtest, document it, and send it to us! Cause let's be real, if the revolution isn't fun we don't want any part in it. Right?
And everybody loves toys!
