Maybe a black ribbon tied around the trunk of a tree in your front yard, to symbolize the evil being done?
Can we get this going?

I would, but it would help if some national organizations got behind it.

Once the ribbons are tied, the activism ends

Or blue and white? I'm thinking of visibility.

apparently there is a Refugee Flag and it is orange (life vest)

Certainly worth a try. And as Maru said above, the mylar silver like the iconic emergency blankets sounds perfect.

Since Tr*mp is the dirtier of the two words, I decided to put the asterisk there.

(50,269 posts)11. No. It doesn't change the situation. It only makes people wonder what the ribbon is for
but in the end they're too busy to bother to find out. Bodies on camera will have an impact. If ever there was a time for a million person march, it's now.
