Patriots for Self-Deportation

Reveal date: Jan 26 2012 Partners: Hemispheric Institute

If "anchor babies" are such a big issue, we should all look carefully to determine whether any one of our ancestors entered the country illegally. If they did, we should self-deport to (one of) our (many) illegal ancestors' country of origin. But which? SelfDeport.org can help you decide.

A Gift for Amsterdam

Reveal date: Jan 7 2012 Status: Active Partners: Op de Valreep

A stately old animal shelter, abandoned for years in the middle of a beautiful Amsterdam neighborhood, and finally taken over by a group of squatters. A corporation with big, vague plans to turn the place into something for profit. An impotent city council. The neighborhood prefers the squatters. Who will win?

Occupy Wall Street actions

Reveal date: Sep 17 2011 Status: Active Partners: Occupy Wall Street

Funny actions are funny. People like them. Therefore, ever since the first week Zuccotti was occupied, the Yes Lab has been working in the Occupy movement by helping create funny actions that highlight the messages of Occupy Wall Street, and also by helping to document and publicize the actions of others.
