For the past five months WUU has been flying a flag at the entrance to the Main Building. Here is the background story:
The mission of the Rainbow Peace Flag Project is to extend kindness and caring across national borders, with love that includes people of all sexualities, genders, abilities, religions, races, and cultures, and to condemn acts of violence and hatred, embracing peaceful dialogue instead. Since June of 2016 over 27,000 flags and hundreds of magnets have been distributed; they are flying high above homes, spiritual institutions, schools, and businesses. In 2019 the flag was redesigned to include four skin tone stripes representing the rainbow of humanity; the letters were changed from white to black in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement; all the colors were placed side by side as a symbolic move away from hierarchy and towards equality. Thank you for your support as the Rainbow Peace Flag Project continues its mission and helps to inspire the movement for a society that is inclusive, peaceful, and love-centered.
