SHK Triple Billboard Campaign Near Houston, TX

Stop Having Kids was granted a very generous donation in 2021 that enabled our first significant advertising campaign, which was 3 billboards in Portland, OR that said "STOP HAVING KIDS" and 1 billboard in Salem, OR on the highway that said "A LOT OF HUMANS WISH THEY WERE NEVER BORN."

Fast forward to 2023 and we've had two more billboard campaigns that were successfully crowdfunded here on GoFundMe by our supporters, a "JOIN THE VASECTOMY CLUB" billboard and a "Make Love Not Babies" (the MLNB was supposed to be "BOYCOTT PROCREATION" but we didn't get final approval).

It's been very clear that the traditional SHK billboards stir up the most attention and dialogue, plus it's the name of our movement and what we believe, so for this campaign we've decided to make 2 out of the 3 billboards the traditional SHK logo. For the one billboard with the alternative message, we've gone with "WHY CREATE HUMANS TO EXIST IN A WORLD YOU DISTRACT YOURSELF FROM?" as this has been one of our most popular messages while doing outreach and a message we've received a ton of positive feedback for from the website.

The same generous SHK supporter who gifted us a $1000 downpayment for the Make Love Not Babies billboard campaign has once again helped us out by donating a $500 downpayment for this new campaign. This fundraiser is for the remaining balance. The photo below is in Pasadena, TX. This photo was shot by the billboard company the morning they installed it.

None of the billboards are in Houston, TX, but they are all near Houston. Houston would be an ideal city to advertise in one day, but it's too expensive for right now. All three billboards are set to run for 1 month, but if we get lucky again as we have been in the past with nearly all of our billboards they might stay up for a lot longer than they were scheduled for. The billboard below is in Sugarland, TX. This photo was shot by the billboard company the morning it was installed.

We specifically asked for the billboards to be located in areas that have a large young population and middle to high incomes. As most of you already know, our messages are for all humans across the board equally. As with all of our previous campaigns, people of all types of backgrounds will be able to see the message. The billboard below is in Cypress, TX. The photo is from the billboard company after it was installed.

The Why Create New Humans To Exist In A World You Distract Yourself From billboard is 10 feet high by 40 feet wide and is estimated to receive 627,000 impressions in 4 weeks.

The SHK billboard is in Sugarland, TX is 14 feet high by 48 feet wide and is estimated to receive 1.2 million impressions in 4 weeks.

The SHK billboard in Cypress, TX is 14 feet high by 48 feet wide and is estimated to receive 2.32 million impressions in 4 weeks.

Having billboards and other forms of major advertisements will be key to inspiring critical thinking and dialogue about procreation, gaining media attention, and helping to normalize antinatalism, childfree living, contraception, and life who we already have. Billboards like these will no doubt generate a lot of much-needed attention on the subject of creating more humans or choosing to remain childfree.

All contributions are greatly appreciated and no donation is too small or insignificant. Thank you for your support.
