Survey Completion: 88%!
88 percent of backers have completed their surveys -- thank you! Once we get up to about 95% we'll start tallying pin counts and place our order, so the sooner your survey is done, the sooner we can order pins and get everything out to you. This is the only piece of the rest of this process that truly depends on our backers, so please help us out -- we definitely want these in everyone's hands by June 1st for Pride!
What's Next?
We'd been discussing the possibility of Symbols of Faith & Pride for several months -- since about halfway through the Solidarity Fist Pin Kickstarter -- but recent events have pushed this to the forefront of our minds. Mandy grew up in a United Methodist Church in rural Pennsylvania and left at age eighteen, while Steve's parents were members of a UMC Church until very recently, their father very active in Reconciliation, so the ruling -- and the defiant response of many churches -- have been alternately crushing and uplifting. While we are both very happy in our home as members of our Reform Synagogue, we understand intimately the pain and the resistance of our friends who are still members of the UMC, and other friends and family who have found varying degrees of love and rejection in their own faith homes.
With that in mind, we are preparing to launch our next Kickstarter to fund a set of pins which speaks to our hopes as we move forward.
Coming soon -- we're waiting for proofs from our pin company and then we'll be moving forward with the next project!
