Text

The people who are putting the flags up, and the people who could, potentially, create community tension if the flags come down. Those are the people whom the Members on your Benches are siding with. I want to see the power taken back from those people so that we can take those offensive, intimidatory flags down and allow our public spaces to be shared by everyone.
