        The "No Hate" emblem was developed to support the cause of Anonka's Witch Museum in Caro, Michigan. After years of discriminatory behavior against them, of instances where police failed to cite people making threats and disrupting business, Anonka had the nerve to question why a nativity scene was placed on the Tuscola County Courthouse lawn, assisted by government employees and illumined by government money. At a Commission Meeting they were insulted, allegedly lied to and rudely dismissed without even a mention in the original minutes of that meeting. Attorney Jean Marie Hansen of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan filed suit in Federal Court regarding the issue of the nativity scene and to defend the right of a Witch, or any person, to question the involvement of government in religion.

        Since that time, Anonka and her daughter Tammra have been subjected to religious harassment, a silent boycott, possible racketeering and death threats by phone and mail. Hate is alive and well in Caro. A group of fundamentalists distributed foot tall wooden crosses to place in the windows of nearly all of the businesses lining the main street around Anonka's Museum. It was to demonstrate that Caro is a "Christian community," but seemed clearly directed to isolate Anonka in a sea of religious fascism. If you are curious about the climate of Caro, you need only look at the fact that during one of the Ku Klux Klan's recent visits to Michigan, that noble Christian organization held a rally near downtown Caro. Maybe the wooden crosses in the store windows have greater significance than many of us think. Next there may be a "Caro White Sheet Sale" in support of "Christian values."

        This NO HATE emblem is a way to promote harmony though proclaiming "NO HATE." The "NO HATE" emblem carries even more significance than just the matter in Caro. It speaks out against the hatred that so many Witches face everyday across the United States. It calls for the defense of mothers and father who have children taken away in custody battles because one parent or another is pagan. It speaks against the silent, subtle, harmful discrimination that many Witches must face where they work and live. It demands an end to the mistreatment of teens who are harassed in school by classmates, teachers and administrators. We support truly American values by supporting NO HATE towards any religion, any race, any sex, any gender, any orientation, anyone!
