About me: The Basic Concept:
For our Freeze Project, we would like to draw a couple of hundred people to a centralized location to draw attention to the social injustice of slavery around the world. Instead of protesting, we would like to create an experience that is fun, non-intrusive (in your face activism), and inclusive.
We believe that we could use “the Freeze” to draw attention in a crowd, which will then be followed up with a brief handout to people about a particular social injustice in the world (in this case, slavery).
How Our Freeze Project Moments Look Like:
* Participants will be asked to show up a designated time and place.
* Participants will then proceed to the “Freeze” space and blend themselves into a crowd as if they were regulars in that particular environments (e.g., malls, events, outdoor shopping areas, etc.).
* A cue will be given by the director of the Freeze moment.
* Participants will then stop what they were doing and stay frozen for the next 5 minutes until they receive another cue telling them that the freeze is over.
* Following the freeze, participants will handout a couple of print material each to people observing them (with or without conversation).
* That’s it! Enjoy the rest of the day at the venue where the Freeze takes place.
We just ask that participants give us feedback after the experience by visiting our website/blog: www.thefreezeproject.com.

Hey everyone, as for pics & videos- if you have any, please send them in or upload them to youtube. As soon as I know where they are all going up I will be sure to post the info here.
ya I'm down. I was being sarcastic about the sweaters.. "freeze project" "sweaters" get it? I recently had a friend beak it down to me I didn't know it was such a big problem here in the US. She says it's huge.
That sounds like a great plan! If you are doing another one in July, my husband and I will be back visiting, were from australia, if you wanted people from around the world in them...
Thanks for the Add, I think what your doing is awesome. I travel all around the world and see it so much in other countries, but we still have it here in the Good Ole USA. Thanks for your stand and for being a voice for those that are not able to be heard.
