To make the rising tide of hate against the 2SLGBTQI community unignorable, we removed exactly 6,423 threads from the Pride flag—one for every anti-LGBTQ+ protest or social post we tracked in Canada, from just the first three months of 2023. The campaign drove to a website with downloadable social assets to help people create their own content, and a vital safety toolkit to help the community stay safe at in-person Pride events.
