Protest signs from Egypt (and Egyptian expatriots)

We reenacted the Egyptian protests today. Each student in the group of protesters was assigned to represent a different demographic. Their signs (adapted from The Best Egypt Protest Signs From Around The World) were created to be representative of the different sub-groups (to the best of our ability to tell):

College students and young, recently graduated people are important parts of most democratic protest movements.
Probably student protesters.
Middle class protester with young child.
Veiled protester, representative of the strength of religion-based organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood in the protests.

Buzzfeed has an excellent collection of photos from the protests themselves. For example:

Thousands of angry Egyptians rallied in central Cairo on Saturday to demand that Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak resign, dismissing his offer of dialogue and calling on troops to come over to their side.
