If You See Someone Wearing A Safety Pin On Their Shirt, Here Is What It Actually Means.
Safety pins are the sort of everyday objects that
you never really think about. Everyone has them in their home, lying
around in random places.
But one
kind-hearted person recently came up with an idea that uses those safety pins
for a good cause. Once you see what they’re doing, you might just find
yourself digging through your drawers!
Since the
UK’s “Brexit” vote last week, there have been reports of violence and
intimidation that target immigrants.
A woman named Allison (from America, of all places!) came up with
a gesture that is incredible in its simplicity and message. She took to Twitter
to explain:
Once her idea started to spread, messages of support started to
pop up all over.
Allison was stunned by the response.
“It’s simple because you don’t have to go out and buy it, there’s no
language or political slogans involved. It’s just a little signal that shows
people facing hate crimes that they’re not alone and their right to be in
the UK is supported.“
It’s a simple gesture, but it’s a powerful sign of support.
Every little bit helps, and Allison’s idea is such a
beautiful symbolic gesture for an important issue of our time.
