Think Write Act with the Bill of Rights



Sitting quietly under a statue in Washington Square Park is where you may have seen Meggan Gomez over the past several months. She usually has a sign under her feet stating, "Ask me what I am doing" and her web address www.thinkwriteact.com I had an opportunity to sit with her last Monday to observe her project in action.
The idea is to get people thinking and involved, specifically with the original ten amendments. She prints out full page stickers with the Bill of Rights on each of them. She then sits at a location to hand them out, usually Washington Square Park. She waits for people to approach her and then she explains the project. Nine times out of ten, people are really enthusiastic to be apart of it and take at least one sticker if not more. Just for the day I came out with her, there were several people who wanted to donate their time or resources to the project. According to Meggan, her stickers have found their way from Boston to Los Angeles and many other places.
