RE:Ribbons and responses to aritcles, reports and programs
Brian has addressed the color/ribbon/pin/bracelet/pin, etc. ideas in other threads. I agree with him: Who knows what all those colors stand for? There are many non-official, for profit knockoffs.
The original point of the ribbons and bracelets was to raise awareness. There are many ways we can do this for OC. We can write letters and send email in response to published information, support and promote OC events, participate on the local level contact Susan Lauria [[email protected]] , purchase and use items from the OCF store, speak to people about our experiences, etc. Remember, many a victory has been won by a small force making alot of noise.
