Welcome In My Backyard
About WIMBY
Welcome In My Backyard, or WIMBY, is a grassroots movement that’s fostering more welcoming communities by drawing attention to the growing number of individuals who believe in diversity and inclusion. Ongoing in other communities, WIMBY’s Ohio launch is a timely and powerful response to intolerance.
I affirm that I welcome individuals from all walks of life into my neighborhood and my community, and that I value human diversity in all its forms.
