Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
Also, a fired Yosemite National Park service worker rappelled down El Capitan in protest of the illegal cuts.
Statement by Yosemite NPS workers: “These losses, while deeply personal and impactful, may also be invisible to visitors and members of the public — we are shining a spotlight on them by putting a distress flag on El Capitan in view of Firefall. Think of it as your public lands on strike.”
@luckytran They set the flag out to get their message across, but then ROLLED IT BACK UP before Firefall because they still wanted people to experience their park and that event 😭
@luckytran Tony Abbot’s 2014 budget (Australian PM) was a savage attack on the poor and the marginalised - it was the beginning of the end for him. Elon if you listen carefully you might just hear the wheels of the bus.
