Here is a short history of the paper clip protest and it application today (2 minutes):E. Jean Carroll via Joyce Vance is being given credit for the re-emergence of this quiet protest. On September 20th, Vance wrote on her substack “Civil Discourse”:On Thursday, E. Jean Carroll started it: Paper Clip Protest. I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. You probably have a paper clip in your desk or junk drawer that you can put on straight away. When you show up to protest the authoritarian regime of the Felon in the White House in two weeks, be sure to wear a paper clip!
