Columbus Businesses Embrace ‘No Hate Space’ Posters

Columbus Businesses are embracing a quickly spreading slogan and labelling themselves as a “No Hate Space.”

What started as a local mantra has now spread nationally – The “No Hate Space” campaign started with a Columbus grassroots organization that wanted a visual approach to spreading a welcoming message of kindness for at-risk communities on the streets, in store and home windows, and on social and news media via #nohatespace.

The posters designate a safe space for at-risk communities (such as minorities, LGBTQA, immigrants, refugees) to do business, shop, or dine.

To get a No Hate Space poster, you can visit their website here to download the print and donate to the organization. Money goes towards spreading the message and purchasing more posters and buttons.
