The Raging Grannies (or just "Raging Grannies") are activist organizations in many cities and towns in Canada, the United States, and in other countries.[1] The first group started in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in 1986–87.
They are social justice activists, all women old enough to be grandmothers, who dress up in clothes that mock stereotypes of older women, and sing songs at protests. They typically write the lyrics themselves, putting their political messages to the tunes of well-known songs.
They were allegedly spied upon by a unit of the California National Guard after it organized a Mother's Day anti-war rally. Their activism includes peace and environmental causes.[2]
There are two books about them: Off Our Rockers, by Alison Acker and Betty Brightwell, and The Raging Grannies: Wild Hats, Cheeky Songs and Witty Actions for a Better World.
