One of the problems with advocacy is that it often goes too far or gets too out of hand. That’s why I was relieved a new campaign around campus; screenshots from the Washington Post’s Faces of the Fallen feature (a wonderful page) were taped to lightposts and later benches around campus, each focusing on a different fallen soldier.
It’s great to see that there’s a good effort out there to do this kind of thing. Two years ago, people around campus were angered when an individual or group spray-painted “STOP RAPE” on one of the sidewalks on campus. Campaigns like the current screenshot one aren’t blatant or accusatory; instead, they cause people walking by to wonder and think. That’s the kind of advocacy that’s needed.
