Our #ProtectTransKids yard sign effort is going strong, nearly 1200 signs strong throughout the region (plus Philly and Baltimore) Something that’s worked well before was crowdfunding for a batch of 50 signs and then working with a local partner to distribute them quickly on the ground. We then ask people who claim the signs to […]
In less than a year, we’ve distributed (planted) 1100 yard signs readings #ProtectTransKids along with thousands of stickers and pens. It is time to drag out the planting/spring/bloom season metaphors and turns of phrases to get more signs into the ground. Reasons?
