Postage stamps are a kind of pre-Internet-era meme (social media graphic) through which countries have told people what they value.
When I noticed there are so many countries working to bring about a global ban on nuclear weapons -- #nuclearban -- I started to make memes related to each country. That allowed me to select an image I found emblematic of a given country, attach the #nuclearban hashtag and a description of that country's support, and tweet it out to the world. (See 133 Is a Lot of #Nuclearban-Supporting Countries.)
But I also wanted to domore to suggest the values that each supporter country brings to the #nuclearban effort. So I decided to select some of their own postage stamp designs -- to let them tell the story, themselves!
Below is a growing selection of country postage stamps I have shared, together with the Twitter message I used with each one.
Most stamps shown are for supporter countries. I've also shared some stamps from countries that are not yet supporters . . . but should be!)
Please share these on social media . . .and create your own!
