The call, from a coalition of individuals and groups working alongside the official New Sanctuary Coalition NYC, is for a graphic design that would convincingly convey the principles and politics of the Sanctuary project to all. The design (to be used on pins, stickers, posters, etc.) will be posted by organizations, institutions or individuals that want to demonstrate their support for or status as sanctuary. Please check the information sheet that lays down some of the history of the Sanctuary movement and the related concepts.

The design should provide the movement with a graphic identity, embody the motto of the coalition – ‘a radical
welcome’ – and include the word sanctuary.
