The Key West

A lot of people in our community are feeling scared, unsafe and unsure of their place in and the support from our island family right now.

There have been reports of hatred and bigotry being directed at the members of our community and a concern over the lack of voices of support for the most at risk groups, like for example the LGBTQIA+ community, from locals and businesses.

We wanted to find a way to make it easy for people and businesses locally to make their commitment to our One Human Family clear, to use their voices and to show support for the members of our community who are understandably feeling so concerned right now.

So we have made this poster, which we would like to invite locals to print and display in order to show their support. You can put it in the windows of your businesses, in the windows of your homes, display it on community message boards, upload it to your website and/or share it on social media, as just a few examples.
Basically, you can put these anywhere you want to show your support for our community during these challenging and uncertain times.

Businesses are also welcome to print copies of this poster and have them available for others to pick up and display – we want to encourage people to share and show these as much as possible across the island. If you are willing to print copies for others to be able to pick up, please let us know and we will share a social media post letting others know they can pick up these posters from you.

The purpose of this poster is three-fold:
1. To have a visible display of solidarity with the groups of people in our island community who are struggling to feel seen, valued, loved and appreciated right now – so that they can SEE how much they are wanted and supported here. We want the message to be loud and clear “You are loved”.
2. To have a visible representation of the fact that bigotry is not welcome on our island, showing those who might be inclined in that direction that this behavior is not tolerated here.
3. To indicate to people who might be dealing with issues, abuse or harassment, the places that they can go and get support from the staff and owners, where these behaviors will not be allowed. If you are a business that is displaying this poster, please make sure that your staff are aware that they are expected (1) to act in alignment with these principles and (2) to provide immediate support to anyone dealing with this kind of situation.

If there are any printing businesses in town who would be willing to help us out with this (of course we will share the information of any supporting businesses here on our website and social media pages), please get in touch with us as we could use as much help as possible to spread this message far and wide across our island home.

Now is the time for us to use our voices to speak up in support of the members of our island family who are feeling less safe, unsure and concerned for their place here in our community.

Our message needs to be loud and clear:
You are seen.
You are valued.
You are wanted.
You are supported.
You are loved.

…and if you do display one of these posters, please share a photo on social media with the hashtag #BigotryIsNotWelcomeHere so that the community can see just how much support is here for them.

♥ Please share this and spread the word ♥
