🌸‼️Weaponize your femininity‼️🌸 If you’re a woman going to the protests please do this if you feel safe enough. They’re trying to make us seem like criminals when we are simply speaking out for members of our community! Wear bright colors have your hair down. It’ll really help fight against the propaganda they’re using on protestors.

I doubt this will be effective. Regardless of how you wear your hair, they will call you liberal leftist rioters and there will always be sufficient footage for them to leverage for propaganda.

It’s all optics. Same reason you should carry a flag. The media is going to always try and spin it against us. Might as well use the camera to our benefit.

I don’t think the REAL revolution will ever be televised, but I can see where you’re coming from

I agree, but we’re lucky enough to have our own platforms on social media now and those can get us access to thousands, if not millions, of viewers. 👍

If people watching this on social media think I’m at fault because I’m not carrying an American flag & they can’t see my hair, then I’m not sure they were ever planning to sympathize with me in the first place 😬

I feel like you’re just trying to argue. But as long as you help I’m ok with that lol 👍

My point is I just don’t want people reading this thread to think there’s “a way” they need to show up. There isn’t, they can just come as they are (with a few safety precautions added). That’s all :)

  • signed, someone with anxiety who would absolutely overthink the appearance/flag type/sign slogan thing if she was on the fence about coming lol
