Beginning this week, Brian, Steve, Nicole, Lindsay, and Susan will be riding the bus with Twin Cities commuters, on behalf of Not In Our Town: Bloomington-Normal.
Connect Transit: Bloomington-Normal Public Transit System (BNPTS) buses will display five messages aimed at raising awareness of NIOTBN's anti-bigotry/anti-bullying message. Four of the on-board bus ads will feature representatives of local businesses Babbitt's Books, Mitchell Family Chiropractic, That's So Sweet bakery, and North Street Tattoo, each speaking out against racism, hate, bigotry, and prejudice.
The ads, designed in conjunction with NIOT:BN's December relaunch, reflect a similar billboard campaign directed at soliciting NIOT pledges from Twin Cities residents. The McLean County YWCA is cooperating in the campaign.
