Our comrade and dear friend Leif Brecke has passed on. This is a great loss to our various communities. A tragedy to lose such a gifted and amazing genius. It will be difficult to move on, but struggling for socioeconomic and environmental justice would be what Leif would want us all to do. Leif Brecke had a huge impact on the activist communities specifically in regards to bioreigonalism, solidarity with Rojava, anarchism, firefighting and the many communities he was connected to.

We wish to honor him so we request that if you have a Cascadian flag please fly it with the traditional “black mourning ribbon” also called a crepe in vexillology. We would like you to take a picture of the flag with the black mourning ribbon on it and post it in social media with one or a combination or all these hashtags:









Instructions at Black Ribbon Streamers for Mourning

“ … by tradition if you have a flagpole that is too short for the flag to be lowered to half-staff (such as a home flag mounted diagonally off the porch or window facing) then it is respectful to signify honor and mourning by flying a black streamer from the top of the flag pole. It should not be attached to the flag, but to the pole.
Here is an easy way to make a streamer. Use a length of ribbon that is twice as long as of the flag, and the same width as one of the stripes. Take an elastic hair band (like you’d use for a pony tail), and knot the ribbon around the hair band so that it looks neat and tidy. Trim the ends to the same length, then dress them by notching in swallow-tails or by cutting them on an angle. Twist the hair band around the top of the flag pole, adjust until it hangs freely and looks nice.
For flags mounted on a wall or hanging by the header attached to a pole, you can place streamers at the top corners, but on the wall or pole, not to the flag itself.”

Yes! Exactly. This is what we are trying to do with the Cascadian Flag Company.

In the age of unemployment, downsizing, and outsourcing, where can a poor soul find a job? Well, maybe it’s time we create our own. Self-employment is an option and can seem freeing, but it’s hard to do everything yourself and find time for a non-work life. The worker coop is an alternative to the i…
