I was living in London when #BREXIT happened. Shortly following that day, a campaign was started to wear a #safetypin. The safety pin was a way to signify to #minorities that they could feel “safe” near you, to let them #Muslim woman in a #hijab know you will protect her. To let the #refugee know that you will stand up for them if harassment ensues.

In the wake of the new US President Elect, I implore all of you to continue this simple act of friendship, extend our hand to our brothers and sisters who feel threatened in public. Be a reminder to potential targets of hate within the #LGBT, #Black, #Latino, #Muslim, (insert your minority here) communities that they DO have an ally and that WE are all in this together.
