So why wear red?  Wear red to communicate.  Red is meant to symbolize how long women and minorities are in the red with their pay.  It is a way to communicate this issue when you don't have the opportunity to go out and protest.  Wear red.  Red is meant to speak on this issue loudly in a culture of gag orders.  Wear red to be seen and heard on an important issue.
