Known for their spunky spirits and out-of-the-box activism, the famous Raging Grannies now have an exhibit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR).

"Their elaborate costumes, outlandish actions, and catchy songs have been effectively getting their message across for three decades now," Julia Peristerakis, the curator of their new exhibit explains. "They are an excellent example of Canadians committed to a more just society for all . . . and for showing that people can engage in activism at any age." 

Starting with 11 members in British Columbia who were looking for new ways to attract attention to issues, this activist movement has now grown to more than 100 different groups across North America and around the world. The Winnipeg group was started in 2003.

The Raging Grannies even wrote a song specifically for the occasion:

"They're putting us in a museum.

Maybe we're starting to rust.

Or maybe its time to get nasty,

before we start turning to dust.

Raging Grannies didn't get famous by being meek.

So don't go thinking we're cute and some kind of unique...

For thirty long years we've been raging.

But don't think we've run out of fight.

We may smile nice at policemen,

but grannies sure know how to bite!"

"Come and join us. We could sure use some help and it's a big job," one of the Winnipeg Raging Grannies states.

You can find the exhibit on the 7th floor of the Canadian Museum For Human Rights.
