#LOCA – Leave Our Children Alone.
Before You Inject Your Child
All parents need to hear this!
#LOCA Teddy Bear Project
One featured campain for #LOCA is the teddy bear project. This is a silent statement using teddy bears or soft toys to represent young children, making a statement. It works like this:
1. Find a used bear, doll or stuffed animal that has been loved (e.g. thrift stores, op-shops). Alternatively use a cardboard cutout, and get creative.
2. Attach a tag to it, stating “Leave Our Children Alone #LOCA” (see printable resources below)
3. Tie them to trees, structures, leave them outside public buildings, libraries, parks, government offices, anywhere where they will raise awareness.
4. Take a photo, upload to social media with the #LOCA hashtag
5. “Rinse & Repeat,” often. Tell your friends, tag them on social media, spread the word.
Printable Resources
These printable resources can be used for attaching to the toys, and left on-site as contextual information where you leave the toys.
Social Media Images, or Posters
Post these images on social media to promote awareness of the #LOCA movement.
These can also be printed as small posters.
