814 chances to choose radical respect!
If you’re going to be within driving distance of San Francisco this weekend (June 2-4), and you’d like a free Safe Harbor pin (to show that you support treating everyone with respect), you can celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love and get yourself a free Love Bead Safe Harbor Pin.
We started out planning to distribute 250 sets of pins (each card has 2 pins on it, so that’s 500 pins). We just finished packing up to make the trek, and we’re coming with 407 sets! 814 pins that promote “radical respect,” the idea that we can choose to treat everyone, even people we don’t understand, or with whom we disagree, with respect. We can recognize our common humanity.
After this, we’ll try to carry a few spare sets with us (because, as other people who’ve gotten pins and worn them can tell you, it’s a conversation starter), but this is the last big pin giveaway we have planned. We’ll put a few in our Etsy shop with part of the money going to charities (like Opening Doors, helping refugees resettle, or Mustard Seed School, helping kids from homeless families), but this last distribution in San Francisco marks the end of the project.
We have a couple of “pop up” sites that won’t be announced until just before they start, and one we can announce now. Here’s the schedule — for updates, like the pop-ups, check our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/Ideajones/
Friday, June 2:
2-3 pm: Haight Ashbury Free Clinic, 558 Clayton Street, San Francisco, CA
558 Clayton Street, San Francisco
3-4 pm : Pop-up (location TBA, check our Facebook page) — we’ll announce it here when it’s time
Saturday, June 3:
10-11 am: Pop-up (location TBA, check our Facebook page) — we’ll announce it here when it’s time
noon – 1 pm: SCRAP, 801 Toland Street, San Francisco
A note about times — it’ll start at the listed time, and I’ll be there until I run out of pins. So far, they’ve gone quickly (I’ve given out more than 100 in 15 minutes). So if you really would like to get your hands on a set, best to be there as close to the start time as you can.
If you know anyone in the Bay Area who might like a set of pins, please share this. Hope we see you soon! #safeharbor
