Glenside resident Kate Thompson is looking to bring the region together after the recent divisive election by providing signs that say ‘Hate Has No Home Here,’ writes Aubrey Whelan for Philly.com.

After seeing the riots, rise in hate crimes and anti-immigrant sentiment following the election results, Thompson decided enough was enough. To try and make a difference, she and her family stepped up donations to progress causes and collected clothes for refugees.

However, for Thompson this was not enough, as she felt a “personal need” to fight the growing tide of hatred in a more public way.

Her solution is the ‘Hate has No Home Here’ signs that were initially created for Chicago’s North Park neighborhood by graphic designer Steven Luce. Thomson, a marketing consultant, understands how exposing people to a simple, memorable message can help it stick in their minds.

Her neighbors agree, saying the signs have given them a boost in what are for many, uncertain times.

“The signs cheer me. It feels like there’s a community out there when this has been so isolating,” said Elayne Aion, who is distributing signs out of her Dovetail Artisans gallery in Glenside.
