# Signed donation ribbons "Vietnam Solidarität" handed to the IDFF secretariat, East Berlin

Five women lean over a table piled with white ribbons tied in bows and tailed with writing; a card at the centre carries cut-out lettering 'VIETNAM' and 'SOLIDARITÄT'. The agency caption says each ribbon bears signatures tied to a money donation from women of one district. Many signed names stand in for agreement, and the sum collected is the evidence offered (bandwagon).
