The National Women's Party itself was not labeled "silent sentinels". Beginning in January 1917, a group of women from NWP stood in front of the White House every day with banners that read "Mr President, What Will You Do For Woman Suffrage?" and "How Long Must Woman Wait For Liberty?". These women were the ones called "silent sentinels". They also carried purple, white, and yellow flags. After June 1917, the picketing women were regularly arrested and sometimes subject to mob violence, but continued to appear daily and picket President Wilson's appearances at events outside the White House.
