I will avoid saying why I’m planning on doing it now only because it will color people’s interpretation of why I’m doing it.

Hopefully my Iran flag will come in time, but it will the a 3’ by 5’ flag and it will tough be 10’ in the air and I will be with other protestors.

I have waves the Palestine flag in multiple previous protests and I get the sense that people don’t recognize it like the LGBT flag

    I tend to have an upside down american flag. It might set some of them off but that is because they are ignorant in the use of flags in maritine situations. I figure I can’t really cure ignorance and maybe someone will explain to them at some point what an upsidedown flag means. Besides that my message is its unacceptable to violate the constitution. I mean there is a lot more stuff but its like any project. You got to prioritize.

      Yeah I forgot what the upside down flag means. I know backwards flag is meant for running into battle. But educating hundreds of people on upsidedown flag on top of getting out that message would be hard. Protesting is iterative to get as much of what you want out there

        That is the thing. Those who don’t look more or engage around it are pretty much a lost cause. Nothing will move them. Those who can manage to look a bit into things can be brought into engagement by finding things out and they might be brought over. My theory anyway.
