Fight the Fear Campaign Flyer

The Purple Ribbon Campaign has been created through many underrepresented religious groups to show solidarity of kindred spirits. "Fight the Fear" is the slogan chosen to represent the Purple Ribbons. Like many ribbon campaigns, this is a way for us to outwardly show our support for religious tolerance and the freedom to believe in our own paths. Pagans, Wiccans, Shamans, Native American Traditionalists/Spiritualists, Bahá'ís, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jainists, Christians, Taoists, Zoroastrianists, Agnostics, Atheists, and so many more of the various other religions are all part of the same universal consciousness. We believe that it is fear that fuels the fires of mistruths and accusations in many underrepresented religions. In order to fight the fear people have of differently diverse beliefs, we have adapted this ribbon campaign as our way of saying we want to prove to those who believe otherwise that we all are trying to climb up the same mountain to reach our own Nirvana's, Valhalla's and Heavens, but we are on different paths with the same goal. None is more sacred than another and none should be discounted as being fraudulent or misguided. Every person has their own individual beliefs that may have basic beliefs shared by others. It's uniting on that common ground to which we hope to achieve with these purple ribbons.
