is starting a campaign to tie white ribbons on trees to protest Trump’s abductions/deportations. In Lila’s words:
“In the late 1970s, during the Iranian hostage crisis, Americans tied yellow ribbons around trees until the hostages were brought home. Today, the Trump administration is perpetrating its own massive hostage crisis—holding people, ideas, institutions, and freedom itself hostage. Until the crisis is over, white ribbons tied around trees across America will mark our hope for freedom for all and an end to this dark period of lawlessness and the inhumane violation of due process.”
We are seeking ways to reach folks with major platforms. If you’re interested, please get some ribbons and spread the word far and wide!

Now I need to find white ribbon that can withstand being outside and tie them on my trees.
Will you do it too?
If you have FaceBook, can you spread the word?
