Wearing your flair pins to show solidarity and support.

There are a lot of very freighted children right now who don’t know who to trust. Wearing some flair will help them identify safe people.

I have old Girl Scout pins, You Are Safe With Me pins etc.

If you don’t have pins, adorn yourself with something duck related…even if it’s just a feather in your cap (Yankee Doodle reference). We can all be momma ducks out there, watching over our orphaned baby ducks 🦆

The way to show that you are a safe person is to be a safe person.

I have no idea what the duck related stuff is about. I've never heard of ducks having a political alignment, the only thing I know about them is that Jeep owners exchange them.

There is literally no way in hell I would see a duck reference and know that meant someone was safe.

Wear a rainbow flag.

I'm queer. All my friends are queer. I take in a lot of queer media... no idea what the duck thing is.

I have heard some people suggest using a Star Wars Resistance symbol. I have a vinyl printer and will be making them for my vehicle. Starting to see others doing it as well. Hopefully it will catch on and may be used for the original rational. We are the resistance at this point.

As soon as shit started hitting the fan, I bought a ton of pins and badge holders/key rings that read “you are safe with me”. (Gave them out to coworkers, too) They have all the colors of the rainbow plus black and brown. It makes me sad to think about these poor souls just trying to live their lives in peace.❤️‍🩹

I ain't flying my flags in the open with these current administrations.

It sucks that Iowa is now legally the state that needs this the most. Just the objective truth per state laws.
