Be loud for America
"Be loud for America" is indeed a good rallying cry. Especially with MAGA trying to claim sole-right to the flag.
My mother-in-law quilted a flag banner for protests. When she posted a picture of it on FB, my MAGA aunt told her anti-Trumpers don't get to carry flags. So, MIL marched with it anyway.

Social movements play an essential role pushing for action on climate and nature, and it’s now widely recognised that support from scientists can make them more effective
But not everyone can take to the streets or risk arrest
That’s ok – there’s lots we can do in other ways
