"Safe Harbor" pins, aka "Solidarity Pins," are an idea that came to the U.S. from the U.K. Wearing a safety pin signals your choice to treat people, even people you disagree with or don't understand, with kindness and respect. When white supremacists began co-opting the safety pin symbol, artists responded by making the pins flashier and taking that symbol back. Artist Joey Jones began her "Love Bead Pin Project," creating Safe Harbor pins and distributing them free at events. She also teaches others to make the pins, so they can spread hope, and the idea of Safe Harbor."
