I know the yard sign thing is dorky but I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it. Feels to me like a helpful way to communicate to your neighborhood and community, especially to marginalized members, that there are people who care and are willing to help. That anyone who is feeling isolated is not alone, especially where there are homes flying fascist flags as there are in my neighborhood.
