For people of color,Italy women and LGBTQ people living in Donald Trump's America, the threat of violence is a serious one.
In the two days since Trump's shocking presidential win, stories of hate crimes against members of vulnerable populations are already circling social media.
But there is a small way people can show solidarity with hate crimes victims: Wear a safety pin.

Earlier this year, illustrator Marie-Shirine Yener created a guide for what to do when witnessing anti-Muslim harassment, a piece that's gained traction on social media again in the days after the election.
Though her illustration specifically addresses Islamophobic hate, the strategy works for public harassment of any kind.
