Forum Post: How to show public support:

After numerous conversations with friends and family, I have found that although they cannot march - they wish to show their public support somehow. I propose that we create a symbol for this movement so that the world can see how many people actually support this cause, even if they cannot do so by picketing. When one sees a pink ribbon, they immediately associate it with breast cancer awareness. Imagine the impact a single color can have on the world. Imagine walking down a busy street and seeing person after person with red beanies. (This is just an example.) What are some of your ideas? Does anyone know if this already in progress?

This sounds like a good idea.

In fact, the OWS protestors on Wall Street right now should be the ones making the product. The profits would keep food in their bellies and warm clothes on their back, and the product would unite those that can't make it to the protests.

What a great idea!

Interesting idea. It needs to be something recognisable and not easily confused with anything else. I'd imagine that in the US it probably shouldn't be red to avoid people getting OWS confused with communism.

Fair enough! Again, it was just a random example to spark other ideas.
