A movement started in the UK when Brexit happened. People started to wear safety-pins to show their solidarity with refuges and immigrants.   The safety-pin is joining us here across the big pond.  People in the United States are starting to wear them to show their solidarity with minorities and to stand up for human rights.  Wearing a safety-pin is a pledge that we, as humans and no matter what our political affiliation, will not allow people to be verbally or physically abused.  That we will not allow bigotry, sexism, genderism, or racism rise up in our country. We will literally stand next to anyone to make sure they are not harmed.

And I want to add.  There is a lot of hate and anger right now in America. We have been dealing with racism and xenophobia since the birth of this nation.   This is not something new but we are at another tipping point. I know there are Republicans who do not want to see people hurt. This is not a political statement it’s a humanitarian statement.

No matter your sex, gender identification, skin color, or where you were born, we will not let you stand alone!

Things you can do:

• Wear a safety-pin and carry extras so you can give one out to people who ask you about it.
• Literally stand by any person being violated. How to help someone being verbally insulted
• Change your avatar to a safety-pin.
• Take selfies of yourself and your pin and post on social media.
• Document injustice when you see it – use your camera and social media to get the word out.
• Some of my artist friends have created images you can download from my website for free to spread the word. You can download a stencil to create t-shirts or be creative. You can download the smaller safety-pin to make stickers.  resources/safety-pin/
• Spread the word.  There is safety in numbers.
