When hate happens, we are faced with two choices:
Ignore it, do nothing and let the hate go unchallenged. Or, take action and do something—rise up, speak up and unite against hate.

Unfortunately bias is a human condition, and American history is prevalent with prejudice against groups and individuals because of their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, political beliefs or other differences. Hate is an open attack on inclusion and decency and it must be countered with acts of kindness.

The good news is, all over the country people are fighting hate, standing up to promote inclusion. As a community, let us join together in an act of solidarity. Let us unite and rise as one voice. Let us use our creativity to exhibit a positive force against the intolerance that is occurring within our society today.

Just imagine, what we, as an entire community, working together, might do if we design to unite with an exhibition of love, inclusion, acceptance and unity. #Design2Unite is an open call for designs that express these sentiments in a non-partisan way. Entries will be included in an exhibition at Bluecadet’s gallery in Fishtown in February 2017.
