A few of us got kicked out of school in the 8th grade for wear them.

Yellow seems to represent hope, while black signals resistance.

Because using the ribbons then created so much solidarity. Black is definitely the appropriate color for our current situation.

I was too shy in 8th grade to do anything that might get me in trouble.

I was thinking we can also use a White Rose ..

The White Rose Society was formed under Hitler

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rose_(disinformation_group)
The White Rose is a group that runs a stickering campaign to distribute disinformation and conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Its name is an appropriation of that of the anti-Nazi White Rose group, to which it is unrelated.[2] Stickers distributed by the group include anti-vaccine and anti-mask messages, denials that the COVID-19 pandemic exists, and conspiracy theories about a New World Order.[3][4] Their tactics have been compared to those of the anti-immigration Hundred-Handers group.

I'm also wearing my culpepper minutemen flag shirt .

patriotism and the white rose belong to anti fascists not the fascists.

There is a lot of associations with the use of the Black Ribbon that I found on-line that are appropriately like what we are now going through. Wikipedia has some references.

Also used in Anti-Soviet campaigns in the 80's.

I think that this is something that can go somewhere in our efforts to represent our current despair.

I didn't know about the use during Anti-Soviet campaigns!

Thanks for sharing this!

Then we wouldn't be able to read bad news or see propaganda TV or pictures of President Psychopath.

I think that black sends the wrong message - that we feel defeated in some way.
A color that's more positive and easier to see (black kind of disappears against tree bark).
Maybe aqua? The color of the sky and water - life, not black for death or mourning.

What is the color of hope?

I did a search for that and green and yellow came up.

Maybe yellow ribbon would be better than black.

Afterall, we've used it before in solidarity as a nation united against a common foe.

Here's an interesting article:

Green and blue are also considered colors of hope - I started falling into the abyss of internet research!

I still like aqua - here's what I found in a simple google search:

I think we may want to have a color representative of what we want - peace, tranquility, reinvigoration- something positive - but that's my individual preference.

If somehow it becomes a true campaign, I'll tie whatever color ribbon is chosen.
