By inviting anyone to step up as a Citizen Artist to imagine a more just and vibrant world—and having already evoked the ire of Glenn Beck—we knew that the USDAC might be subject to continued scrutiny and suspicion by those interested in maintaining the status quo. But we were surprised to see dissent pop up in the form of a group of protesters in Lawrence, Kansas, who call themselves “the Grays” and have postered the town, calling for a boycott of the Imagining. Watch this video of the protesters to see what we’re up against and why this work is more urgent than ever. Cultural Agent Dave Loewenstein of Kansas has vowed to carry on with the Lawrence Imagining despitethe naysayers.
