Introduction
@channel
Attention ALL PAX. THIS IS A CALL OUT to ALL men, whether you have posted 1 time or 100 times and ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO KEEP A SHOVEL FLAG 🇺🇸. There are reports of protests and vandalism in neighboring communities and some businesses in downtown Naperville have responded by boarding windows, erecting barricades and closing early. The location of our Dark Tower AO is highly visible, close to downtown, and allows us a unique opportunity. Let our normally scheduled workout and presence there tomorrow be a VISUAL EXAMPLE of male community leadership. If you have a FLAG, BRING IT AND PLANT IT. This workout is open to ALL men. It is free of charge and we as a group support each other and our community by leading. Let’s SHOW UP tomorrow and make it so that we must break off into MULTIPLE groups per our current guidelines on group size. I’ll have a workout printed if more Q’s are required.

This morning I know a lot of things are happening in our community, protests, a pandemic, lots of opinons, feelings, emotions everyone is entitled to their beliefs and feelings. I did not come here this morning to give my opinions. I was here to lead a 45 minute workout. We are here to push each other, to support each other and to get better. To those 1st responders in our group like Hot Box here today and others, thank you for what you continue to do to keep our community safe and running smoothly even thru turbulent times. Thank you guys for coming out and showing your support for each other. As we go out today, look for opportunities to be a positive influence in your neighborhood and with those in your sphere of influence. Looks for ways to help and lead and to be an example for others.

This morning Smalls stepped up to lead by offering to handle site Q duties once he arrived at DT. He had a shovel flag and planted it. Within 5 minutes, a couple walking by shouted out to us, “Thank you for displaying the flag!” I believe change is brought about through positivity, not negative destruction. Sometimes something positive isn’t the biggest act, maybe it’s just showing up, displaying a flag, picking up a piece of trash next to you, being there for someone else. I know we can all do better at being positive influences in our communities, myself included.
