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’d recommend having a banner/sign which explains why you are doing-so, so that you won’t be accused/convicted of what others assume you to have been meaning.

    It’s nearly-impossible to get people to understand what one means, when one’s motivation isn’t identical with theirs.

    & discovering how their-motivation is fundamentally-different from one’s-own has to happen before one can have ANY chance at dismantling miscommunication.

    & miscommunications now can have years-in-prison attached to them.

      Yeah, if the fascists want to lock you up, they’ll declare you a terrorist. You need to make sure that the non-fascists know this is not true.
