"They use the 'Granny' stereotype to gain access to prohibited places: government offices, national leaders, scandalous sites. Then they sing out their no-holds-barred messages... They have great impact, dressed in these outrageous hats and costumes. And often they convey a message that others are unable to."

Peter Seeger

"They are out to change the world, to remind everyone that social activism is not the prerogative of any one generation. In the best tradition of street theatre, their "goofiness" blurs the line between fantasy and reality. It throws into question "security" built on arms or environmental indifference."

Keith Howard

"The Granny strategy itself is very powerful because the authorities don't know what to do, Granny Power is very disarming.

Anne Pask

"We learned that, at times, rage is the right response. Faced with mega-billion-dollar expenditures on instruments of destruction and an environment teetering on disaster, a passionate response is highly appropiated."

Mary Daly

"For them this planet must be more than an orange squeezed dry of its juices. It must be a world worth inheriting from its present dwellers. We salute them for daring to challenge warmongers, politicians, multinationals, and all those who are reluctant to treat our fragile environment with the care it deserves."

Elsie Hawkesworth

"The Raging Grannies are a high profile example of politicized senior citizens. That they are now listed as one's of Victoria's tourist attractions is a tribute to their persistence."

Eleanor Godley

"Music, humor, and a non-threatening stage presence are a pretty powerful combination. But entertainment is secondary concern for these women. Their agenda is deadly earnest, and their objective is getting people thinking and acting on what we are singing about."

Jim Dinn

"Raging Grannies - they 're the grannies that cares the most"

Renie Marshall

"The Raging Grannies, the madcap, grey-power protesters, are volunteering for a tour of duty in the Persian Gulf. Grannies across Canada will be urging the army to take them and leave the boys at home."

Don Hauka

"The grannies have staged numerous protest targeting nuclear disarmament, recycling and clearcut logging."

Vancouver Sun

"What a wonderful bunch of older women! They had to do something to keep the world safe for their grandchildren. Theirs was a protest built on love. They filled us all with hope. Maybe we can make a difference in spite of the trivia we have to deal with each day."
