How about adopting the Myanmar monks' inverted begging bowl as the new global peace/justice protest symbol? It can stand as a sign of global and faith solidarity against the evil military despotism and greed that are the common enemy of people everywhere.
Monks at the head of the procession carried religious flags and an upside-down alms bowl, a symbol of protest.
Some monks are refusing alms from the military and their families — a religious boycott deeply embarrassing to the junta. In the Myanmar language, the term for "boycott" comes from the words for holding an alms bowl upside down.
