Re: [at-l] Re: Take Back the Trails

Just a suggestion -- when you go out to hike this weekend,  tie a purple
ribbon to the outside of your packs.  Purple is the color that signifies
Victim/Survivor support and is used in all the Take Back The Night Marches
and Victim rights rallies (I've been organizing such events for 6 years
now).  No, wearing the purple ribbon won't bring them back or really change
anything, but it does get people asking questions...and that's when the
education can begin.  

Have a great hike!
