Step 5 - share your flag

The fifth step of the global walkout is to display your country’s flag upside-down anywhere you can. We’ve come up with a very cheap and easy way to do this so EVERYONE can participate.

We’ve been inspired in the Netherlands by seeing hundreds of upside-down flags along the highways. It’s very impactful because the public cannot help but notice and wonder why they are there.

An important part of this step is to take a photo when you put your flag somewhere and post it online. Use the same hashtags as everyone else to show that WE ARE THE MANY…#CountryInDistress and #GlobalWalkout

In the Netherlands when we drove through farming regions, there were more properties WITH flags than without. It’s impossible the public to ignore this public display of distress. Imagine if this was global??? If you spot a flag while with a friend, it will be a great way to start a conversation about important topics.

There are several ways you can participate...

1. If you have a public front yard, display an upside-down flag on a pole or on the fence (or where ever you can).

2. If you have land along a busy road, try to replicate what the Dutch farmers have done (if you can afford it). The impact of this will be INVALUABLE!

3. We have made paper flags for EVERY country with some writing on the back. You can easily print these from home, but it will be cheaper at a printing shop. We have made a how to video.
