Currently there are at least three causes advocating Red Friday. They want people to wear red every friday in order to advocate their cause. This is likely to create confusion on friday when people see other people wearing red and assume they are supporting their cause.

Pro-War

There are several websites that say in order to 'support our troops' people should wear red every friday. They claim that they are the silent majority and that if they wear red it will increase awareness of support for the war.

Anti-War

There is however a webpage advocating wearing red every friday for an entirely different reason. They oppose the war and want the troops brought back home. They also claim to be the silent majority. However, they are apparently done wearing red every Friday, since they asked that everyone wear red every Friday between May 2004 and the 2004 election.

Heart Disease Awareness

The American Heart Association is sponsoring its own red friday to raise awareness of heart disease in women, again advocating that participants wear red every friday.
