Wearing a safety pin is a symbol of solidarity to those opposed to Trumpism and hate.
Safety pins were worn after the Brexit vote in the UK as a protest against the rise in hate crime. Brexit made the safety pin the symbol of opposition to hate and intolerance and Trump's election has made it relevant here.
During his campaign Trump expressed hatred for Mexicans, Muslims, Asians, Jews, women, and the LGBT community. As America comes to grips with the evil we will be facing it is important that we stand together.
