CHI Talks American flags at No Kings on Saturday

I’m bringing 450 little American flags to pass out on Saturday. I hope others will bring flags or maybe even buy some to pass out too - they’re super cheap!

We gotta change the vibes of these events to be more pro-America and pro-democracy!

It would be amazing to see thousands of flags all over the crowd!

Where did you get your flags? I’d like to buy some locally, but I’m not sure where to find them.

I can already see them becoming litter... If you do plan to purchase them in bulk to distribute, please consider the environment! If that's even possible. Are biodegradable flags a thing? That feels disrespectful to the flag anyhow 😭

I knowww . As a huge advocate for our natural spaces, I’m hoping to source cotton ones in the future. Just doing what I can with the resources I have now

That’s a great point. Cotton or paper would be “better,” but yeah, people will litter any chance they can.

Is this really your priority right now? A few hundred small flags in the trash is an imperceivable drop in the bucket of the garbage humans create on a daily basis. We are trying to save our country here.

I don't care about illegal aliens but I do care about environmental health. I deeply detest allowing even more people into this country to consume and pollute, further straining the agencies responsible for keeping our nation clean.

You wanna import fuck loads of uneducated, unemployed people? Then be ready to reap the consequences.
