Heed The Call
Meteor Blades has an idea that he posted about over at Daily Kos:
Spread the Outcry. Black Armbands on Friday, Please.
|
Come September 21, tens of thousands of people, perhaps hundreds of thousands, will participate in the first Iraq Moratorium, a national day of locally organized opposition to the disastrous war and occupation of Iraq. No need for a pricey airline ticket, or an all-night drive across the country. The Iraq Moratorium will take place right in your neighborhood. You don’t need puppets, or face-paint, or renowned speakers, and you don’t need to chant, “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Mister Bush has gotta go!”
[snip] If you do nothing else, wear a black armband to school, to work, to Disneyland, to wherever you go Friday as silent testimony to your opposition to the war and occupation, to your mourning of its consequences and to your determination to help end it. If you’ve got time, you could print a word or a few on it: Withdraw Now. End the War Now. Or some such. [snip] |
I think this is an excellent idea. How about you?

Hey, funnyfarmer, thanks for spreading the word. Armbands are kind of the symbol of the Iraq Moratorium, but there is a wide range of other, or perhaps I should say additional, activities folks can consider as a way of taking part. Check out the Iraq Moratorium website.
