Some Bernie Sanders supporters have started a movement to wear tan shirts to protests.
This is in response to criticism of their protests in the news branding them rioters.
The movement is being modeled on Occupy Wallstreet to give a unifying name to the protests that will encourage focus on their aims without silencing individual voices.
The tan shirts are to identify the protesters to one another and present a more organised and credible opposition to Trump.
I'm concerned that this may actually hurt his poll numbers.
If you're aware of this movement, post #sparrows material in this thread so we know what we're dealing with.
They're actually naming themselves after the group of dirty peasants led by a corrupt, power hungry pedophile from Game of Thrones? Fucking lel.
Is this a troll it can't be real haha

A post from a #sparrows blog:
The mainstream media has shown its republican bias labeling our legitimate protests as riots. We need to change our strategy slightly to stop people being manipulated.
Occupy Wallstreet was successful in threatening the establishment. How did it achieve this?
A unifying name that forced the media to scrutinize their aims rather than just branding them as "hippies" or "protesters".
Since the aims of OWS were popular, the mainstream media had a tough time if they were going to portray them as bad guys.
They couldn't be branded as a rabble.
So our movement needed a name. The natural choice is #sparrows.
Think about it. Remeber Birdie Sanders?
The sparrow that landed on Bernie's podium is already a symbol of our movement and furthermore a messenger of "World Peace".
What better choice to represent our peaceful protests?
The sparrow is also a symbol of the common folk, the 99%; Bernie's people.
To reinforce this message, we now wear tan shirts to our demonstrations.
It's our #SYMBOL. It is:
Simple and reflects our grassroots values.
You can find hem in most stores
Makes you visible to other #sparrows BUT
Blend into the crowd
Obtainable in women's, men's or other sizes
Less likely to cause offence than any other garment
If we unify and focus our message the media will not be able to paint us as hooligans.
So wear a tan shirt to the next protest against Donald Trump and SUPPORT BERNIE SANDERS! #sparrows #SYMBOL
Does anyone else have any images to share?
where have i heard this before?
