MVP Helps Weed Out Hate Initiative Garner Worldwide Support

Minneapolis, October 14, 2010 – Marc Daniels, businessman, author and Chair of the Weed Out Hate Initiative (WOH), has tapped MVP to generate a worldwide publicity campaign for his ground-breaking social action initiative. He also asked MVP to design an engaging new logo to capture the spirit of the movement. According to Daniels, “Weed Out Hate enables young people to learn valuable lessons about prejudice and social responsibility while performing community outreach and neighborhood clean-ups. We appreciate the creative writing and PR support that MVP contributed to our efforts. Really, we couldn’t have done it without them.”

The Weed Out Hate campaign has promoted Daniel’s speeches nationally, including his kick-off event at the Lincoln National Historic Home Site in Springfield, IL on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream ” speech. There, Daniels announced dual proclamations from the cities of Des Moines, IA and Springfield, IL calling upon children everywhere to weed out hate. Subsequently, MVP promoted Daniel’s visits to a series of Lawn and Garden industry conventions, which enabled him to mobilize support from such companies as Master Mark and Easy Gardner. Additionally, with momentum building worldwide, Daniels succeeded in recruiting Jerusalem-based, German journalist Ulrich Sahm of Schindler’s list fame, to his cause. Sahm has agreed to address interested organizations on such subjects as the Holocaust and the Israel Palestinian peace process, which have subjected individuals and groups to bias, prejudice and loss of life.

According to Dick Weinrib, President of MVP Marketing + Design, “We are proud to contribute to Marc Daniels’ worthy cause. And we’re confident that eradicating the weeds of hatred, which are so prevalent in our society, is just the right thing to do.”
