Isn't Friday the day that most labor unions wear red?

Specifically, I know the CWA wears red on Friday and I think Black on Tuesday.

I'm wearing red. My mom died from a heart issue years ago that was pretty much discounted by her cardiologist. It will be 20 years in March- she was 36.

Or you could do what I'm doing. All of my red today is in jewelry form. :-)

Wear blue in September for prostate cancer. Will Crystal Springs change the color of their delivery trucks from pink to baby blue? Somehow I doubt it.

Friday February 26th, is National-Wear-Black-for-Johnny-Cash's-birthday-day. And also the day his last album Rick Rubin recorded album is released I believe.

Not sexist. For years, heart research has been devoted to men only. Not of the subjects were female. So all we know about heart disease is based on a man's experience, and all this time women were dying from heart disease at the rate of one every minute. Men knew to look for heart symptoms… but if a woman showed up at the hospital with chest pain, she was told to go home because she had anxiety.

why just "go red for women"?

doesn't heart disease affect men just as much?

seems a bit sexist to me.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I'll wear the only shirt I have that isn't black. ;-)

This is more important than petty politics, guys.

not to mention those who wish they lived in a 'Red' state (see above)

I guess that it's good then that this whole state is in the red…
