Eva-Lee Baird took this photo in September outside Ricky’s cosmetics store in Brooklyn. That’s Nancy Kricorian of Code Pink on the left, she’s led the boycott against Ahava products made from stolen minerals in the occupied West Bank, and she’s giving a piece of her mind to some of the young men who come out to mock the boycotters wearing clown wigs. Great street theater.
The next protest, sponsored by Brooklyn for Peace, is Tuesday, November 30th from 5:30-6:30, at Ricky’s on Montague Street (between Henry & Hicks) in Brooklyn Heights.
Here’s a recent Forward article on the protests. Notice the unbridled sexism in the comments section.
