Make Racism Wrong Again - where to buy flags and banners?
November 27, 2019 4:43 AM   Subscribe

Need some large anti-racism banners. Where to buy?

It's time for me to stand up against the pig-ignorant neighbors around me. I have a couple of exterior yard walls that I can hang banners on, along with a very visible yard.

I'm looking for:
1. Banners I can hang on brick walls that say "make racism wrong again". I can sort out mounting hardware.
2. Yard signs.
3. Flags. I have a couple of flag posts hanging off the front of my house. What anti-racism flags can I buy? (Full size nylon flags.)

Considerations:
I'm in Las Vegas, so very little rain, but occasional wind at 60+ mph.
My dad can help me figure out how to secure them against wind.
I expect them to get vandalized, so it'd be great if they're cheapish and replaceable.

Safety:
I have cameras. Overlapping.
Smoke/co2 detectors in every room. Evac plans in place.
I'm a bald white guy - I look like a trump supporter. Advantage is that police take me seriously.

(Posting in Media & Arts - seems like the most appropriate category. Please move if there's a better one.)

This says polyester, but the HRC Equality Flag might be a good one.

Vistaprint does custom yard signs, you can probably get anything you need printed up there or on similar services. I think RAICES and others are missing an opportunity for fundraising in not producing some saleable yard signage. (Elizabeth Warren's site has a bunch of yard signs and other stuff like this you can buy that also supports her campaign.)

You can DIY some using cheap white cotton bedsheets and a very thick marker, or actual paint.

Seconding Vistaprint. Reasonable prices and good quality.

Philly style Pride flags have additional stripes, brown and black, representative of the intersectional nature of pride events. 3x5 flags are 12$/ea shipped at this Etsy shop. Also, "all are welcome here" readymade signs. Multilingual "No matter where you're from, we're glad your our neighbors" readymade signs. Political signs supporting progressive candidates are excellent choices.

"In Our America...All people are equal...Diversity is celebrated": Flags, window banners (for inside), and other materials. They have a yard sign, but only packaged with other items.

Flag sold separately, here.

They also allow you to download the image to print your own yard sign.

There are quite a few antifa flags on Etsy. (Including others without the red-and-black anarchist associations if that's not your bag. I've no idea if any of them are well made.)

The nationwide leadership for my church (UU) encourage member congregations to hang Black Lives Matter banners or other banners with similar sentiments. They suggest going through Burn Graphic Design, a black-owned design shop based in Baltimore.
