Martha Stewart’s Whole Living Daily inspired by Beautiful Trouble!

Whole Living Daily, a subsidiary of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, talks with Beautiful Trouble’s co-editor and author Andrew Boyd to describe how to temporarily take over a parking space and create your own mini-park.

Highlighted BT tactics and principles include “Direct action“, “Use the law don’t be afraid of it“, “Stay on message“, “Simple rules can have grand results“, and “Exercise people’s ‘hope muscle’ ”

“Seeing an unexpected park in the middle of the city is beautiful. It’s important to see, feel and touch what it would be like to live in a society of your ideals. The lunch counter sit-ins in the ’60s are a more intense example of direct action with white and black people simply sitting down together even while food was dumped on them. They were bringing into being the world they wanted to live in, not just protesting a world they saw as bad.”
