I will avoid saying why I'm planning on doing it now only because it will color people's interpretation of why I'm doing it.

Hopefully my Iran flag will come in time, but it will the a 3' by 5' flag and it will tough be 10' in the air and I will be with other protestors.

I have waves the Palestine flag in multiple previous protests and I get the sense that people don't recognize it like the LGBT flag

Standard of kaveh is pretty cool. Interest to see how people of the past made their flag and history behind it is interesting, but is the average American going to understand that?

It's hard to invoke a meaning, but I would be cool to bring to a protest and tell protestors about kaveh.
