Protest With Style
Jails normally separate inmates by genitals. An inmate with a penis is placed with them men, regardless of how "female" she may look. And what if your procedure is half completed? Where will they put you in Rikers? More information for transgendered protesters.
The vegans have their own plans.

No protest is complete without performance art.
Vomitorium2004 is a theatrical performance, modeled after the opulent parties of the Roman Empire, where guests will engage in consuming astounding amounts of food, and when stuffed to the limit, vomit so that they may gorge themselves again and again. For one evening we will transport the participants and audience to those long-gone days in order to reflect on the fate that eventually befell the Roman Empire, and heed the warning signs of history repeating in the current decline of the American Republic.
Know your rights. Make vegan tamales. Vomit. Read more here, here, and here.
Wow, 1001 vegan tamales? As a seasoned tamale maker (and part-time resister of Repulican forces) I can say with all honesty that 12 tamales is quite the undertaking, let alone 1001. God speed, Tamale Revolution.
Vomitourium 2004 definetly sounds intriguing. I have to admit, very orginal. As a recent B.F.A. grad, I've never heard of anyone using this pretext before. I like the throwback to the Roman days of self-gorging. Although. . . might not the money spent on the food (which will be essentially, wasted) be better spent in a feed-the-homeless manner? Hrm.

What about the giant puppets? As I've said before, you can't have a demo without the giant puppets.
