I was unfamiliar with David Solnit but now I know what an amazing man he is.  You can Google him and learn the work he does.  

My friend Jane Flint is part of this group The Lamentors.  She says: 

We are the Lamentors and we are associated with 1000 Grandmothers (elders)and with Extinction Rebellion, also known as XR  (youth)

David made the contraption that anchors the puppet.  Jane made the face out of  paper mache so it would be light.  Someone else made the hands.

These photos are from the ferry building in San Francisco.   Each of us is a wave in the ocean and we each find our own way to say what we must say. Here’s a gathering of cohered waves.
