TO ORDER A SIGN FOR YOUR HOME, BUSINESS, OR ORGANIZATION, VISIT http://www.wmcn.org/hate-has-no-home-here-campaign-in-winchester/
Great places to put your sign include your yard, your fence, or your window (especially if you are near the street and do not have a yard). If you live on a street with a sidewalk, the grassy area between the sidewalk and the street is town property, so signs cannot b
e placed there. We speak different languages, have all kinds of families and identities, share varied interests and abilities. What we have in common is that we find home here in the US, where all are welcome. To demonstrate our continued commitment to a community where all feel safe and welcome, we are participating in a zero-profit campaign to help neighbors and businesses display signage on their lawns or in their windows reaffirming that "Hate Has No Home Here". The signs ordered for our community present the message in English first and then in 5 other languages: Portuguese, Mandarin, Arabic, Hebrew and Spanish (Portuguese and Mandarin are the top two non-English speaking languages in our schools). The background of the sign is red on one side and blue on the other, underscoring its inherent nonpartisan nature. If you're local, please join us in saturating the area with "Hate Has No Home Here" messaging. We have partnered with the Wi******er MultiCultural Network and orders can be placed at http://www.wmcn.org/hate-has-no-home-here-campaign-in-winchester/. The suggested donation for a yard sign is $5 to cover production costs. Any excess funds will be reinvested to produce and distribute more signs. This campaign began with a group of neighbors from North Park, a Chicago Neighborhood. The "Hate Has No Home Here" phrase was imagined by a third grader and kindergartener at Peterson Elementary School; Steven Luce, a North Park neighbor and designer, created the graphics; and neighbors Catherine Korda, Barbara Nordlund, Megan Trinter, Carmen Rodriguez, Jeanne Marie Olson and Kurt Peterson secured the translations, organized and launched the campaign.
