'Hate Has No Home Here' Yard Signs
Donation protected
UPDATE: Goal Amount Has Been Increased to Run Another Printing
Anyone who ordered a sign from last Monday until we reach our goal will be able to pick up their signs in a few weeks.
With so much support and demand ProKzoo has decided to continue taking donations for yard signs. We are starting to see them across Kalamazoo. If you have purchased a sign on the first run you can pick them up at the following locations. If not we will let you know when your order is ready for pick-up.
You can follow Progressive Kalamazoo @ https://www.facebook.com/events/1192109747540078??ti=ia
Or on Twitter @Prokzoo
WE DO NOT SHIP.
* PICK-UP LOCATIONS ARE NOW READY:
- 12/12 and ongoing thereafter, M-F:
The Reality Factory (213 E. Frank St., Kzoo 49007) available ONLY from 9-1pm.
- 12/12 and ongoing thereafter, M-F:

BACKGROUND: According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there have been more then 700 incidents of hateful harassment within the first week since the election of Donald J. Trump. These incidences have been anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-black, anti-muslim, anti-women, and more.
In the face of this, Kalamazoo must continue to be a beacon of love and inclusion to all people, regardless of political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious affiliation (or non), place of birth, color of skin, or immigration status.
OUR PLAN: to blanket our community with a unified message that we welcome all, and will not tolerate hate and bigotry towards any member of our human family. Reicipients of the yard signs will be residents of Kalamazoo and we will both deliver and provide pick up locations for the community.
100% of the funds donated will be spent paying for the "Hate Has No Home Here" yard signs for individuals to place on their property. They cost $5 per sign and we prefer to not have to front the money but instead have people pay for a sign in advance.
The funds will go to the printer who is producing the signs for our grassroots organization, Progressive Kalamazoo, which can be found on facebook. Each person who contributes will get a sign.
PLEASE NOTE
- One $5 donation will get you one yard sign.
- Additional funds donated above $5 will get you
additional yard signs (one sign for every $5 increment) to hand out to friends and neighbors.*
- OR, you may donate more than $5, pick up your own yard sign, and allow us to hand out the extra signs you helped fund to those who cannot afford to buy their own.*
*Please indicate in the notes of your donation how you would like a donation above the $5 threshold to be used.
