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.
