New #NoFlaggingChallenge encourages people to rip down Confederate flags [video]

We’re seeing quite a few mentions tonight for the #NoFlaggingChallenge where people are encouraged to film themselves ripping down Confederate flags they see while out and about their communities.

Lots of mentions, but only a few videos … so far. Will this become more popular?
