Wear in Solidarity




Remember the yellow Star of David? What if everyone, Jew and non-Jew, all over the world had worn one?
In that spirit, be the first in your crowd to wear a "I AM ILLEGAL!" button. At the very least, it's a good way to start a conversation. What does it mean to label a human being as illegal?

Send:
$1.50 to cover the button and postage to: FIND, P.O. Box 51334, Kalamazoo, MI 49005.
It's non-deductible, but it all goes for postage stamps so I can write detainees and prisoners.
