What about other flags like trans, bi, pan, non-binary, lesbian, intersex, etc.?
Rainbow, Trans, Bi, & More Color, More Pride will be the first four pins available. We currently have approved mockups for Asexual, Aromantic, Bisexual, Genderfluid, Genderqueer, Intersex, Lesbian, Non-Binary, Pansexual & Transgender, and everything after Rainbow, Trans, Bi, and MCMP will be unlockable via stretch goals. The sooner we hit our stretch goals, the sooner those pins will be available! If we surpass all our goals, the community will have an opportunity to decide which of the Mystery Pins we’ll add.

Who the heck are you, anyway? Why you?
We are a family of queer disabled artists (2 adults, one teenager) who run NerdyKeppie and make nerdy, punk, and Pride Judaica, shirts and accessories. This is our full-time gig and keeps a roof over our head and a charge in Mandy’s power wheelchair. And if not now, when, if not me, who?

Are you using a fair-trade pin maker?
Our pin manufacturer is a small business in the US. We are not importing our pins from overseas. That’s super important to us. See also: we’re fucking socialists. Sure, we could probably get them cheaper, but it’s always important for us to live our values.

Why start with the raised fist?
We’re Socialists, and pro-labor, and the raised fist as a modern printed image started as a symbol of pro-union movement in 1917, carried through to 1948 when the stylized version used by Socialist parties around the world came to be, and has been used consistently by many resistance movements through to the present day. When we designed this symbol (which has been available on our patches and shirts for a while), we took a few things in mind - a) we were very conscious to style ours after the Socialist fist and b) we used a left fist both because we are leftists and to avoid cross-confusion with the BP salute (right fist) and 1960s/70s feminist icon and c) left-handedness was long associated as a ‘sign of secret gayness’ and so it packed even more symbolism in for us.

Are you going to offer the More Color More Pride version?
Yes! We found a pin maker that would allow us to do it without having to set it up as a whole separate pin. As inclusion is one of our core values and representation is one of our core values, the More Color, More Pride pin will be one of the first four pins available through the Kickstarter.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
