As A Protest Wear A Black Ribbon With An American Flag Pin On It.

Like the pink ribbons or yellow ribbons the protest ribbon should be black with an American flag on it. We must have some universal protest visual that someone can wear if they so desire. Of course, Trump jumpers will be nasty about it.

Silly as some reactions may appear we all have different styles. Direct vs. Indirect approaches and all things in between, wouldn't you agree we need a plan?

The black ribbons and flags are, at the very least, a way to show our patriotic sorrow. Apropos, imo.

We do have a leadership vacuum right now. We can contribute as far as writing, calling, and emailing elected officials in the meanwhile.

I'm going to the Women's March... I hope there is an action plan that evolves from so many brilliant women in one place.

Would love to go to the march. But afraid to go alone. I am trying to figure out how to make it happen. Any suggestions?

Could fly the Flag at half mast with a big black ribbon with RIP boldly printed on it.

If its half mast, you need a long pin, and its just not as noticeable as an upside down flag.
