Description
Sticker that repeats "welcome to" in 16 different langauges. The stickers are distributed by an advocacy group called "Come Out and Show Them." The organization started in Raleigh with "Welcome to Raleigh, y'all" stickers and have since expanded to Durham. On their website, the group claims that the stickers enable local people and businesses to "express their support for a welcoming, open city." Reading through the list of languages included, the lack of any indigenous American or African languages stands out.
