If a November election is the only way citizens can have an actual voice

to end this evil circus, I believe we should have another way to communicate our patriotism so that like minded patriots will recognize strength in alliance.

I would suggest wearing a wrist band of a designated color or colors.

Certainly we should be vocal and protest in any way we can, but there is strength and hope in knowing that you are passing a friend on the street or in a grocery store or at work, and just a glimpse of that unity could change your day from despair to resolution.

Yes, I’m desperate, but often in desperation, solutions are created. If you don’t agree with mine, that’s fine, but toss in another. I will listen.

we stick w a bracelet. They understand big statements. People marching in the streets. Bracelets are nice, but not quite the substitute for marching in June or July in America. Best time to do it!

I will be there.

But you know darn well that there are people who are on our side, but can’t or won’t take part in any thing of that sort. At first. But if the see more and more signs of unity, including something as simple as a bracelet matching theirs, they might be inspired!

All great steps towards acting if we have to. Summer is the time to protest. The powers that be try to keep the lid on things until fall winter bc they know it's twice as hard logistically to get out the people. Great job.
