Welcome signs surrounding a city can be important markers signifying much more than its population or city seal. The Northern California city of Newark decided to affirm its dedication to fostering acceptance and inclusion by unveiling a city plaque and banners with this message. Five years earlier, Newark was home to the brutal murder of transgender teen Gwen Araujo. Since the tragic death, the city has been engaged in ongoing prevention work with the school district and community groups, like PFLAG and Not In Newark. Newark saw the sign campaign, through the National League of Cities Inclusive Communities Partnership, as the next logical step in its efforts to build a more inclusive community.
