Student raises money in protest
"The only way to fight fire with fire is not to yell at them, but to do something that is the exact opposite and raise money for a charity that is against what they stand for;" Held said.
As a Topeka-based extremist group protests the Brown Bag Drag 11:30 a.m. today in front of the Kansas Union, Daniel Held, a sophomore from Seattle, plans to have his own protest by raising money for Planned Parenthood.
Held came up with the idea at 10 p.m. on Monday, and by Tuesday afternoon, he had raised almost $350. Held will be taking donations during his counterprotest, and each time a new donation comes in, Held plans to ring a bell and announce how much money he has raised.
"I'm going to have a whiteboard that says, 'Because you are here, we have donated this much money,' and every time someone donates money, I'll erase it and
update it," Held said.
Held said his goal was to discourage future protests.
"If every time they go somewhere, and people donated money for every minute they are at that place, they're going to stop showing up because people are supporting the things they hate," Held said.
Held said he wanted to protest because he can't stand the extremist group's message and disagreees with everything they stand for.
"Infuriating people by preaching hate is just disgusting," Held said. "What two consenting adults do on their own time, and doesn't affect me, shouldn't and doesn't affect them."
Held said he plans on accepting donations from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of the Kansas Union. For more information check out Held's Facebook event at http:// www.facebook.com/event php?id=114373638577472.
