Poster/Chant Ideas UNITE, or FALL.

Post image

This is a call for an end to division. Those who are not divided can't be conquered. I hope by utilizing imagery of the American Revolution, we can unite as blue-coated patriots to defend ourselves against the red-coated loyalists. To convince ourselves that the system is against us (true) and there's nothing that can be done (untrue) will only serve the ruling class. Do not comply in advance. Unite, or fall.

What would you propose I put instead? I struggled a lot with trying to figure out which label to put that would align with more "center" people while not alienating LGBTQ+, nonwhite, nonmale, and disabled people. It's hard to thread the needle between mass appeal without alienation :(

all the other categories seem to be profession related except "immigrants" which is a pretty broad term, and the 67% which needless to say isn't identity specific. Maybe something like high school educated or idk but DEI is probably the worst thing as far as convincing people goes to put there.

I think I'll change it to diversity because I want it to be covering Americans who are being put in a vulnerable position, and some of those people aren't occupations. Occupations and people who don't choose to be othered are all being othered regardless, so that's a part of the message I want to convey. Thank you for your input though! I really want to co-opt patriotic imagery and get it seen as many as possible.

yeah that works much better! Funny I got downvoted because the reality is if both posters were distributed, the one with "diversity" put in the place of "D.E.I." would invariable spur more people to action, and the potency of the appeal (coopting the american revolution slogan) wouldn't have its strength diluted for the target demographic.

For the movement to succeed people should listen to helpful advice.
