Halloween Costume Ideas: Modern Day Activists (SLIDESHOW)

Hopefully it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for you to masquerade as someone who wants to save the world. This Halloween, forgo the played-out sexy-anything costume or the time-consuming group getup and go as a do-gooder.

These last-minute costumes representing the top modern activists will be a sure conversation starter -- and they take no time at all. If nothing else, just wear fair-trade or child-labor-free anything and you can call yourself good!

These are all STUPID... and quite frankly, LAZY. Not to mention, some could get you arrested.

I attended a party dressed as Marcus Bachmann: a frilly dress and a nametag asking if I may cure people's gayness.

Planned Parenthood activist?!
No, thank you!
I'd rather be someone who actually stands up for safety of women and respect for life - a 40DaysforLife sidewalk counselor.
HuffPost writers, you may want to keep in mind that your entire readership is not willing to support morally questionable liberal ideals.

I haven't seen anything morally questionable about Planned Parenthood. You may recall that Jon Kyl's comment was not meant to be a factual statement.

this list sucks, no one wants to be real life people for halloween. it might of been funny for the arthur at the moment but it was a really bad idea. i've seen better ideas from yahoo.

sorry but the protester and planned parenthood activist is not okay. i would truly be offended. it's promoting negativity.

If you live in California you can get help with a mammogram...for the money being collected (and since they paid the former CEO $500,000 a year) they should have mobile mammogram vans everywhere! Thank you for the article.

Justin Bieber looks like a lesbian. If I didn't know he was a he, I would think it was a she.
