Okay I have two questions about a protest

1) What's that white cardboardy stuff people use for protests thats easily seen and firm? And where would I get it? If I can't get it, what should I use instead?

2) My Mum is SUPER PROTECTIVE of me. When I say super, I mean you seriously have no idea. If she knew I was going to a silent 'let's sit on the ground and hum' protest, she'd freak. Let alone a dangerous one I'm going to. I was going to go with friends, and just tell her I was hanging out with them, but at the last minute they decided they didn't believe in the cause and are leaving me to go by myself.

I could still use that story, but it feels so wrong lying to her. I was thinking of dropping hints how disgusted I am with this thing I'm protesting about, then in casual conversation slip in about thinking of going to the protest with a friend. However if she says no, then I can't lie about not going to the protest. Should I tell the truth, and if so how? Or just go.

Well, you already got the 2nd question answered, so i'll answer the first. It's called Posterboard. You can get it at walmart or hobby lobby :]
