London : Bridges Not Walls

Donald Trump’s Inauguration, is scarily just one week away, and whilst most of us will mark the occasion by just keeping our televisions off, other people have much more pro-active plans to mark their fear of what is to come once this unstable man gets the keys to the White House.

Across the Pond in the UK a rather wonderful ad-hoc organization called Bridges Not Wall is busy making  banners that they will drop on January 20th from bridges across the country to send a simple, hopeful and unmistakable message. ‘We will build bridges, not walls, to a peaceful and just world rid of oppression and hatred.”

They have based their excellent initiative literally from the  words of Martin Luther King who said “Let us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls. Rather than borders, let us look at distant horizons together in a spirit of acceptance, helpfulness, cooperation, peace, kindness and especially love.” 

For more information, and even to physically help make the banners check out Bridges Not Walls Facebook page
