Help Us Replace Stolen Flags and Stand Against Hate

$5,425 of $12,000 goal
Given by 74 generous donors in 5 weeks

It is a festival that not only encourages our rainbow community but also invites the entire town to come together and celebrate diversity.

Queenstown, Otago

We are reaching out to you during a challenging time for our community. In a shocking and disheartening turn of events, approximately 30 Winter Pride-branded flags that proudly adorned Queenstown have been removed without authorization. These flags symbolized our commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and diverse environment for everyone who calls Queenstown home or visits our beautiful town.

The unauthorized removal of these Pride flags is more than just an act of vandalism. A painful reminder of the intolerance and prejudice that our community still faces, even in places like Queenstown, which is known for its welcoming spirit.

We need your help, each flag costs around $400 to produce, and with 30 flags needing to be remade, we're looking at a total cost of $12,000 to have the flags made urgently and installed. This is a significant expense, and we are turning to our incredible community and allies to help us replace these flags and continue to stand proudly against hate.

Your donation will go directly towards:

Replacing the stolen flags.

Supporting the ongoing efforts to create safe and welcoming spaces for everyone in Queenstown.

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. Please consider donating to our Givealittle page and sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and networks. With your support, we can restore these symbols of Pride and continue celebrating the diversity that makes Queenstown so special.
