Download our colorful flyers and post them in your window, or hand them out amongst your community members! See our guidelines below!
CODEPINK says #Not1More detention or deportation and #nobannowall. Immigrants and refugees are #heretostay.
New: Order a poster from our online store!
8.5 x 11 inch flyers
GUIDELINES
Banning and criminalizing people will build more hate and make the U.S. and the world a less safe place; this will separate families, create division, and grow wars. Our ideals and principles are of peace and justice- we work for our rights and the rights of the most vulnerable. It is time to pick which side we are on and be brave together.
Post these posters in on your front door, front window, on your car, the office message board, local community bulletin boards, your local coffee shops & businesses, and/or in other spaces. Find places to declare your values and affirm that we welcome, honor, support and respect people from different religions, cultures, races, and countries. Sharing these posters with other people is an opportunity to start conversations about the #NoBanNoWall movement. They are a tool for starting dialogue about how we can resist the racist, misogynist, xenophobic, ableist narratives and policies the current administration is bringing, as we create the places, the communities, the world we want and need.
Don’t just hand it to someone to post! Get to know others, take the chance to start dialogue and connection. “I just posted this in my window, would you like to do the same?” Plan in advance what the next step might be -- a gathering of neighbors in a week, joining you at a local organizing event, etc. Be prepared to take it further than the sign-posting. It is all about growing our community muscle of connection and love. Be ready to share your experiences this week.

Bring posters to family and friend reunions and why they should be rising with you
3. Share pictures and your experiences on our Facebook, Twitter, and email.
We want to live in a country that welcomes all people. We want to support the values that honor, respect and protect all people. We can not move towards this vision without resisting bans and walls that divide us and building together. We will #BuildBridgesNotWalls.
What are your thoughts? What are the values you want to follow? Share with us!
“Lots more wars on us may they stop as they get between us in our powers, relationships, may we win em transforming violence, war into seeds, fruit, freedom flow. Lots of spaces for us to connect, bridge, heal greater love and power together” - Mariela Saba

Some wise advice:
1. Don't use his name;
2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone;
3. Do not argue with those who support him--it doesn't work;
4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state;
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow;
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk;
7. Reach to communities who are most vulnerable.
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it;
9. Take care of yourselves; and
10. Resist as you build! Do at least one thing a day
