We don't have yellow garments, but I plan to go to party store to get some yellow leis or crepe paper streamers.
We don't have signs, but if there is real meaning to the yellow, I can get some yellow balloons ----.I don't have time to make a sign.
I had misgivings about going because of my back, but I feel like I have to do SOMETHING!
So, I'll register and wear yellow if it really has a significant meaning - take pain meds on the way there.

On Saturday, we wear yellow. Throughout history, people who have come together in protest against authoritarian governments have used a unifying color to symbolize their peaceful resistance. Our movement is no different. Yellow is a bright, unmistakable reminder that millions of us stand together in the belief that America belongs to its people not to kings. ❌👑

The yellow vests protests or yellow-jacket protests (French: Mouvement des gilets jaunes), were a series of populist, grassroots weekly protests in France.
