When Norway was occupied by
Germany in 1940, Norwegian women began to knit RED caps for children as a way of letting everyone
know that they did not like what was happening in their
country, that they didn't like having their freedom taken away by the Nazis. Women knitted red caps
for her children and others. Similarly, in Denmark, women knit red-white-and blue caps (colors of the
Allies) for the very same reason.
The result was that whenever Norwegians and Danes left their homes to
go to the store, to work, etc., they could see that The Majority opposed what was going on in their
country. As you know, both countries organized effective Resistance efforts and changed history -
everything that happened began simply by wearing red (or the colors of the Allies, in Denmark).
At the very heart of
our democracy is our right to oppose certain policies of our government. Increasingly, our
government is redefining "freedom" in ways that make too many Americans perceive that it is risky to
oppose Bush Reich House policies, and in particular, current inroads about individual freedoms and
policies in the U.S. and abroad. However, many of us do oppose what our government is doing to
individual rights. Through a quiet little Better Red Than Bush campaign, all of us might recognize
each other very easily and see that we are indeed The Majority.
Wear red every Friday between now and election day. Wear a little or a lot, just be sure that
when you leave your house to go about your day, to work, to school, to the store, to the gas station,
wherever you go in your daily routine, that everyone who sees you will see that you are wearing red
because you believe in freedom and you don't agree with our current administration's policies at home
and abroad.
Between now and election day, tell everyone you know the "Women in Norway and Denmark" story, and ask
your friends to wear red in the spirit of
Better Red Than Republican, on Fridays.
