Flag Day Is Coming! [1]

Hi, I’m a multi-decade lurker, first time diarist. I enjoy reading the diaries and the commentary and never felt the need to jump in until now. I have an idea about a nationwide protest that I want to go viral and have no idea how to make that happen.
June 14th is Flag Day. Flag Day is:
[A] holiday celebrated on June 14 in the United States. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress….Flag Day was first proposed in 1861 to rally support for the Union side of the American Civil War. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation that designated June 14 as Flag Day. Wikipedia.
What I‘m proposing is that on June 14th everyone fly their flag upside down as a symbol of national, and personal, distress (a ’la Samuel Alito). We’re all feeling this distress and dread over what’s going to happen to our country, I don’t’ need to catalogue all the reasons for fear and angst here. June 14th is a Saturday so many of us will be home, if your neighbors ask you why then you can have a conversation with them. This is an easy, stay at home protest. It doesn’t hurt that it’s also Trump’s birthday and that he’s planning on a North Korea style military parade for himself. I got no problem pissing on his parade.
What I’m asking for is help getting this idea to as large an audience as possible. Post this on your social media accounts. If anyone has any connections with regional or national media folks (Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Miller, etc.) please reach out to them.
