Visibility Matters

The visibility of people embracing and celebrating diversity in a community makes a world of difference to someone experiencing discrimination, who feels like no one cares. The All Are Welcome Here Visibility Campaign shows everyone that there are people in the community who love and support diversity, and who are willing to show that in their own yards and businesses to make our community as inclusive and welcoming as possible.

Whether you identify as a member of the 2STLGBQIA+ community or you have felt the aloneness and isolation of discrimination and not fitting in for many reasons, the

I LOVE (YOUR TOWN HERE) - ALL ARE WELCOME HERE Visibility Campaign is making a big impact on our communities.

"I grew up here and left and recently had to move back. I wondered how it would be for my partner and I. A few weeks ago I came downtown and saw the banners and thought...Maybe it'll be okay."

~ Conversation outside a coffee shop in downtown Rutland

"As I put our "All Are Welcome Here" sign up in our yard, I was a little nervous about what our neighbor might think or do. That same neighbor came by soon after I put the sign up and told me he was happy that we moved to the neighborhood. We're friends now!"

Co-Founder of Rutland County Pride

“As one of the founders of the I Love Rutland campaign, I’m thrilled to work with Social Tinkering and others to embrace all in our community. The initial I Love Rutland campaign had a somewhat generic focus, while now it’s clear we support inclusivity, equity, and diversity in our community, and truly welcome everyone.”

~ Steve Costello, Co-Founder of the I Love Rutland campaign and champion for Rutland

The All Are Welcome Here Visibility Campaign launched in 2021 with an idea and a group of people working together to show our 2STLGBQIA+ community they are welcome and loved.

Within 3 weeks we raised over $5,000 then produced and installed 18 banners in downtown Rutland, 100's of yard signs for people to put up on their properties, and 1000's of stickers. The project was a huge success and we are working to reinvigorate this campaign and spread it as far and wide as possible.
