5 Flags for People Who Are Done Staying Quiet
If the news has you angry, good. Anger is information. The hard part is that anger with nowhere to go turns into exhaustion. So here is a short list for the people who are done waiting for someone else to say something. Each one is a real thing you can do this month, and a flag that says it out loud for you on the days you are too tired to.
1. Say all of it at once (SBNLWK)
Science is real. Black lives matter. No human is illegal. Love is love. Women's rights are human rights. Kindness is everything. Do this: pick the one line on that list you have never said out loud to your own family, and say it at the next dinner. Fly this: the SBNLWK flag, all six lines in rainbow order.
2. Stand with immigrant neighbors (No Human Is Illegal)
Families on your street may be scared to open the door right now. Do this: find a local immigrant rights group and ask what they actually need this month, whether that is rides, translation, or donations. Ask before you assume. Fly this: the No Human Is Illegal flag, so a neighbor walking by knows your door is a safe one.

3. Say it plainly (Abolish ICE)
Some messages should not be subtle. Do this: call your representatives about immigration enforcement in your area. One call, five minutes, and your office keeps count. Fly this: the Abolish ICE flag, two words in letters nobody can misread.
4. Show up with the crowd (No Kings)
Millions of people have marched under those two words. Do this: find the next protest or town hall near you and put it on your calendar now, before you talk yourself out of it. Bring one friend. Fly this: the No Kings flag, at the march and in the window after.
5. Build the coalition (Together We Rise)
Queer liberation and racial justice are the same fight. Do this: follow and support one organizer in your city who is not in your own community, and show up for their cause once this season. Fly this: Together We Rise, five raised fists with a rainbow one in the middle.

Why a flag is still worth it
The person most scared on your block cannot read your mind, but they can read your window. Every flag on this list is free. You just cover shipping. Each is a full 3x5 ft flag, about the size of a twin mattress, not a little desk flag. They ship in plain, discreet packaging, so nothing on the box says what is inside. They are made from recycled materials. And all sales benefit LGBTQ+ charities, so the flag in your window is funding the fight too. Pick the one that says what you would say if you had the microphone. Or pick two.
