Once at the military recruitment office, CODEPINK and Veterans for Peace took over. Along with Cox, Cynthia Papermaster, one of Code Pink’s San Francisco leads, led this portion of the action. “Lockheed Martin was picked as a stop on the march, and they told us that Veterans for Peace and Code Pink could speak at the stop,” she said. “We were really thrilled about that.” CODEPINK developed another petition with a list of demands for Lockheed Martin. The three organizations presented them with risk. “We were willing to get arrested,” Papermaster said. “We wanted to deliver a petition that has about 4,000 signatures on it, asking Lockheed Martin to transition to a peacetime industry.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/85a73f20-ad30-46ca-a277-ecd4c2037ce2/IMG_0483-1.JPG Self Published - Reporting: COP27 Hits the Bay: Coalitions Resist Militarism’s Role in Climate Change - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/9f9f9ac0-c232-4b7b-83c5-085cb8b6aff1/IMG_0482.JPG Self Published - Reporting: COP27 Hits the Bay: Coalitions Resist Militarism’s Role in Climate Change - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/2662b0d6-993f-43b2-9eac-18165f202756/IMG_0467.JPG Self Published - Reporting: COP27 Hits the Bay: Coalitions Resist Militarism’s Role in Climate Change - As artists were painting this mural, organizers passed chalk around to all the attendees. They were asked to write what they hoped to see their tax dollars used for, as opposed to military spending. The crowd, predominantly under the age of 25, wrote about the creation of community spaces in their vision of a world without war. One of the protest attendees, Mical Wolde, is a recent college graduate who works with Latine youth in the Mission. She said she was inspired by this action. “It was great,” she said. “I liked seeing what other people wrote. It’s just inspiring to see what other people wrote. They’re so loving and creative. I came out today to support climate justice. I'm really passionate about activism for climate change.” A future that Wolde wrote about in chalk is one where everyone is empowered. “I hope people feel they have power. I hope people realize that we care, and that it matters as citizens to take action ourselves.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/8a36bb99-4d6c-462f-909d-a2688db2faf2/IMG_0480.JPG Self Published - Reporting: COP27 Hits the Bay: Coalitions Resist Militarism’s Role in Climate Change - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/3bf92e3f-4c12-4c4b-8b54-db4d4b4e0e40/IMG_0482-1.JPG Self Published - Reporting: COP27 Hits the Bay: Coalitions Resist Militarism’s Role in Climate Change - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.megrrobertson.com/selfpublished/thousands-of-miles-apart-teens-in-georgias-youth-justice-coalition-and-sfs-youth-vs-apocalypse-organize-for-change monthly 0.5 2024-05-29 https://www.megrrobertson.com/selfpublished/sf-arts-commission-funds-jazz-as-liberation monthly 0.5 2024-05-29 https://www.megrrobertson.com/performance daily 0.75 2025-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/1606845914885-6YCUKIS9AMK6EYWGMVHG/Me+and+My+Girl+Photo+%232.jpeg Performance Sally Smith in Me and My Girl, May 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/1606845886183-ML6HGWT94VKNSDHYZ1GK/The+Crucible+Photo.jpeg Performance Abigail Williams in the Crucible, January 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/1606845812912-VNZBT4J0A22BUL6M7HR4/Me+and+My+Girl+Photo+%231.jpeg Performance Sally Smith in Me and My Girl, May 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/9aca111e-3006-4386-a0ec-ad5e26e67cf6/Screen+Shot+2025-03-10+at+4.20.27+PM.png Performance Chorus, Pirates of Penzance, August 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/1606845898414-GZ2IDU992Q15T4CX34VS/Shakespeare+in+Love+Photo.jpeg Performance Queen Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love, January 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/cff3cd8c-c42f-40e2-8b9a-97bc7735b631/IMG_9057.JPG Performance Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins, September 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/1606845837401-GHH03UPBPVZBDZP0IFXL/Pirates+of+Penzance.jpeg Performance Edith in Pirates of Penzance, October 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/1606845822804-CPLBGHI75382XHTPOABH/Much+Ado+About+Nothing.jpeg Performance Ursula in Much Ado About Nothing, January 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/1606845905663-QT4T119CGZ1U374C2T58/The+Duchess+Mislaid+%231.jpeg Performance Colombina in The Duchess Mislaid: A Commedia, October 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/1642168176135-0BS8ZATEURN4Z6KEF7FB/Little%2BMermaid%2BPhoto.jpg Performance Ursula in the Little Mermaid, May 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/daa7c3c8-fc08-4b1d-960f-73c2ba272ae9/52485246981_bdd251e301_o.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/bfdf0098-1107-4fb8-a809-b9e9ece4e741/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+5.35.30+AM.png Performance - Robertson hopes to extend her time in 'the world theater creates' Published on 5/21/20 in the Daily Citizen https://www.megrrobertson.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc67c1640f1034a5ccf407c/9bbdd3c0-6a45-4f1c-b691-605b77c80417/IMG_3789.jpeg About - Megan Robertson, a San Francisco based writer and artist, has spent her life following the conviction that sharing stories is the best way to effectuate change.
