A way to Demonstrate our Solidarity with the Muslim community
The 'No Hate' - Green and White project, post-Christchurch shooting response:
Use the colours of green and white (both significant for Muslims) to show your care and support for Muslims at this time. We could put streamers or balloons on our letterboxes, and maybe also trees or power-poles, to show our neighbours we are benign and caring and they are safe here living near us. This link (below) also suggests that tying a green strand or scarf around our wrists would be a good way to show our benign or benevolent stance in a world that must be feeling very unsafe for many people.
Adding a statement eg 'No Hate' may help clarify the intention of the message?
