| 11-13-2001 - DREAM - My Father came into my office and slipped
a green and black T-shirt over my head and told me to raise my right arm.
I then went into another room and saw my son Tom and all his friends, many young people, and older people all wearing green and black T-shirts. They raised their right arms and circled around a rectangular table, and danced joyously. Other older people like myself stood around the outside of the circle, some with green and black T-shirts and some with pale beige shirts. We might be too old to dance like the young people, but we were observing the others in their joy and we could still raise our right arms and support them. |
WHAT CAN YOU RAISE INSTEAD OF THE U.S. FLAG? --WEAR GREEN AND BLACK!
The U.S. flag and its colors are being used in an attempt to whip up patriotism and convince people that there is a "ground swell" of support for the U.S.'s "War on terrorism". People who want to express their grief for the victims of the 9/11 attacks, as well as the victims of the current bombing campaign against Afghanistan, should also take up the GREEN & BLACK campaign. GREEN has been used in areas around the country to support people who come under racist attacks. It identifies us as allies so that people know who to go to for protection should they need it. BLACK symbolizes loss of life, sadness, mourning. In this case, the loss of life of thousands in the 9/11 attacks, the current bombing raids, as well as the thousands more innocent people who die in acts of war around the world every day. We call on you to stand with the people of the world against this war. WEAR GREEN AND BLACK! The Arab People are Not Our Enemy They Are Our Sisters and Brothers Our Grief is Not A Call to War
You can wear: Armbands * Flags * Ribbons * Clothes
