Campaign launched in '17 to end the sale of racist merch at the Delaware Co. NY Fair. Now a state-wide effort! #hatespoilsthefun #fairforallny

Tomorrow 7/30 @ 6pm Delaware County will stand in solidarity with other counties speaking out against these egregious measures because, no matter if our Sheriffs like it or not, BLACK LIVES MATTER. @TruthPharm

[Fair for All NY @Fair4All_NY]

We're disappointed in Delaware Co Sheriff DuMond's endorsement of #NYSSA's proposal. It's designed to hide the wrongdoing of officers and protects systemic racism in law enforcement. Orgs like #NAACP across the state agree. This is an important issue: https://t.co/nN3uPcXbDz

And we were inspired by you, #JohnLewis. 💔 #goodtrouble

"Defense secretary effectively bans Confederate flags from military bases while rejecting ‘divisive symbols’" ...yet @DelCountyFair remains silent siding with white supremacy.

Read remarks from #GetWokeCatskills and #FairforAllNY organizer @xtinahuntwood from last Friday's #BLM rally after anti-black graffiti was found on an abandoned building in Stamford, NY. ~40 came out in this conservative rural town! #BlackLivesMatter

@ccecornell and @Cornell should pull support of any county fair that allows the sale of racist merchandise, period. #fairforallny #4H #BlackLivesMatter

[Fair for All NY @Fair4All_NY]

Thank you @Cornell for speaking up against racist symbols being sold at our county fair. As a major partner of the event thru @ccecornell, you've got clout. Let's hope you keep using it.

Cornell University to @DelCountyFair: "The Confederate flag is a toxic symbol of the country’s racial history that sends a message that only certain people are welcomed and accepted at the fair." #fairforallny #BlackLivesmatter

A letter to Cornell University's leadership regarding support of NY's county fairs that invite vendors to profit from selling racist symbols. #CCE #4H

[Fair for All NY @Fair4All_NY]

It's not too late to create a policy that prohibits the sale and normalization of anti-black symbols at our county fair. #BlackLivesMatter @DelCountyFair @ccecornell

While community outcry has made an impact on the number of vendors selling racist merch at the Delaware County Fair, there are still a few peddling hate. Here's what you can do to help. #hatespoilsthefun #fairforallny

3/3 Stay tuned: The @DelCountyFair Fair opens on August 12, and we will let you know what we find. Visit our website at https://t.co/VsbWzjcZvM to learn more about our efforts to make New York's county fairs welcoming for everyone.

1/3 Delaware County Fair is one of the oldest ag fairs in the U.S. Here are mementos collected by one of our founders. Sad that the Fair's leadership mars the event by allowing the sale of white supremacist merchandise, year after year, despite strong community objections.

[Fair for All NY @Fair4All_NY]

2/3 With white nationalism and racism tearing the U.S. apart, will this year be different? Must hate still spoil our fun? The Fair Board promised not to allow the display of racist items this year ... but they made the exact same promise last year and went back on their word.
