The Pumpkin Spice Campaign (PSC) naturally engages in the standard arsenal of political advocacy, orchestrating boisterous protests in urban streets where crowds chant for flavor liberation and massive rallies in public parks adorned with orange banners demanding an end to seasonal spice tyranny. However, what truly distinguishes us from conventional groups is our boundless ingenuity in raising awareness

We, the dedicated activists of the Pumpkin Spice Campaign (PSC), have mobilized swift and strategic direct action campaigns across major cities to physically block the trucks attempting to haul away precious pumpkin spice products from store shelves at the end of the fall season. These bold interventions not only disrupt the seasonal purge but also amplify our message of flavor justice, rallying supporters to join us in defending year-round access until the tyranny of limited availability is forever dismantled.

Human Blockades

Sip In's

The PSC has pioneered "Sip In's" as a form of peaceful yet profoundly unsettling protest, where dedicated spice advocates descend upon cafes, diners, and bars that stubbornly refuse to offer pumpkin spice options year-round, armed only with their own thermos-filled lattes or flavored treats. Participants enter en masse, order nothing from the menu, and proceed to sip their contraband in absolute silence, maintaining intense, unblinking eye contact with bewildered staff and fellow patrons to underscore the absurdity of seasonal flavor gatekeeping. These events not only disrupt the status quo with their eerie tranquility but also spark conversations—and sometimes conversions—among onlookers, amplifying our relentless push for universal access to pumpkin spice.

PS Crime Scenes

The Pumpkin Spice Campaign (PSC) proudly unveils its "PS Crime Scenes" protest strategy, a clever and visually arresting tactic where activists covertly attend events, conferences, or festivals that fail to offer pumpkin spice offerings, swiftly drawing chalk outlines on the pavement or floors depicting spilled coffee cups with steam curls, whipped cream dollops, and scattered spice flecks, styled like forensic body outlines to symbolize the tragic "demise" of flavor freedom due to seasonal neglect. This ingenious approach, inspired by sidewalk chalk activism that has effectively spotlighted injustices through ephemeral art, ensures our cause leaves an indelible mark—wiped away only by rain or reluctant compliance

Drone Spice Drops

The Pumpkin Spice Campaign (PSC) elevates stealth with its high-tech tactic where activists deploy small, silent drones at dusk to hover over non-compliant cafes and stores, precisely dropping biodegradable packets of pumpkin spice flavoring, propaganda leaflets demanding year-round availability. This aerial subversion, inspired by covert delivery operations, allows participants to evade security while sowing seeds of flavor revolution from above, turning unsuspecting establishments into unwitting hubs of spice advocacy overnight. As the drones vanish into the night, the scattered evidence sparks curiosity and conversions among staff and patrons

A delightfully unnerving non-violent tactic, deploying teams of activists to subtly shadow grocery store stock clerks during their shifts, weaving through aisles while softly chanting "Spice the shelves now" and slipping unsolicited pumpkin spice packets into carts or hands, building an inescapable aura of surreal advocacy that persists until the clerks, under the weight of the pressure, finally restock the coveted flavors year-round. Inspired by time-honored non-violent shadowing strategies like "haunting officials," where protesters maintain a constant, dignified presence around authority figures to underscore moral grievances without threats or harm.

Stock Boy Stalks

Pothole Pumpkins

Stealthy teams of activists target neglected city streets at night, filling potholes with heaps of mashed organic pumpkins to symbolize the "flavor voids" left by seasonal scarcity in our daily lives. As dawn breaks, participants emerge with witty signs proclaiming "Fill the Spice Gap Before the Road Gap!" or "Seasonal Neglect Leaves Holes in Society," drawing honks of frustration from drivers and forcing municipal officials to dispatch repair crews who encounter our embedded messages and petitions tucked into the spiced filler. This guerrilla repair job not only highlights infrastructure woes but cleverly ties them to our cause, sparking media buzz and public discourse until authorities and businesses alike yield to demands for year-round pumpkin spice availability.

Spice Balloon Invasion

Teams infiltrate non-compliant stores during peak hours with backpacks full of helium-filled orange balloons, each adorned with tiny spice-scented sachets and handwritten demands like "Year-Round Spice or Burst!" that release aromatic hints of PS as they bob chaotically toward ceilings and displays. Activists synchronize their launches via apps for maximum surprise, flooding interiors with a floating armada that tangles in lights, blocks views, and forces staff to pop or collect them—each burst revealing embedded petitions or QR codes linking to our manifesto. This uplifting tactic not only garners viral footage from amused shoppers but transforms mundane retail spaces into festive battlegrounds.
