Signs and Banners


*note that not all signs are available via Etsy due to their regulations and removing certain awareness raising items from their site. Use the CUSTOM order form for signs not pictured at Etsy, or email SOS to use Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle to order.

Upon request for banners/signs, this page has been added. You are welcome to download sign files to have printed locally as well. Email SavingSons@gmail.com to receive high resolution files for your own production.

If you would like to order through the company that makes our signs, the following are those that are currently available, and the amount they cost to have produced (standard 10 day shipping is included). There is no profit made on these signs, nor are they sold, made, or shipped from SOS. They exist exclusively for awareness-raising efforts and are gathered here as a means of helping advocates get the resources they need for education and awareness purposes.

The signs are outdoor/all-weather high quality, double sided, and in full color. The banners are extra thick, outdoor/all-weather high quality, single sided, in full color with metal grommets across the top and bottom for hanging or mounting. Signs and banners are made to last for many years worth of outdoor and indoor use.

All signs and banners will be delivered directly to you in approximately 10-12 business days. They will arrive via UPS or FedEx. Please include your mailing name and address for FedEx when ordering. Expedited shipping is available (5 day, 3 day) but costs more to have produced.

To borrow signs: If you would like to borrow a set of signs for the cost of shipping each way, email SavingSons@gmail.com with your selection. We can ship up to 8 signs for $20. A deposit will need to be made on the signs that would cover their replacement should they not be returned, and this deposit is refunded in full when the signs are shipped back. You may choose keep one or all of the signs, and in this case the amount would be deducted from your deposit. 

Info cards, magnets, bracelets, pens and other intact awareness raising items can be found here

A special THANK YOU to the parents who have sent in photos of their beautiful babies below for this educational effort! 

LARGE SIGNS
(10 day shipping included)
27 x 18 inches in size
All signs are outdoor, heavy duty, double-thick, weather proof quality (similar to a yard sign).
They are each printed in full color on both sides (this costs slightly more but ensures a sign is seen from both sides). You can place thin, round wooden or metal rods into the horizontal signs for ease of holding. Sign holders are $3 additional (horizontal signs only). These signs do not bend, but can be shipped or carried flat and last for several years.
Each sign can have one different image on each side.

Happy Holidays!


☃ Saving Our Sons began in 2008, and since that time our work has been led by a handful of volunteers, educators, and professionals striving to empower parents, raise awareness, and make life better for babies and children, and men they become.

While the online Saving Our Sons community has grown to over 90,000, and includes a wide and diverse audience, there is still a very small number handling everything here at 'home base' -- keeping the underlying foundation of SOS a positive, proactive, and pro-intact one.

We operate solely by volunteers and donation, and the past 9+ years are testimony of the baby-saving ripple effect that a small few can have with devotion, action, and a pooling of hearts and resources.

With this in mind, we *love* hearing from families who have found Saving Our Sons over the years and have had their lives touched by SOS in one way or another. It is a blessing to correspond with you, to work together in this global effort, as well as at the grassroots level, and we always look forward to hearing from you. If you are sending greetings at this time of year, we would love to hear from you. ❤

We will write back!

❄ Have a blessed holiday season. ❄ 






You Didn't Fail: Thank you for speaking up

By James Ketter © 2016


To all my intactivist friends who know what it is like to try with all your heart to educate expecting parents, to try and spare a child from genital cutting, only to learn later that his parents had him cut anyway...

I thank you. 

You should never, ever feel like YOU failed or did anything wrong.

Let me tell you, as a victim of genital cutting myself, what you did for that baby boy:

You were the only one who spoke for him at his most vulnerable.

Do you know how incredibly HUGE that is?

Do you know how important that will one day be to him?

What it will mean to him?

Let me answer that.

No one spoke out for me.
No one.
Not one single person in my entire family, group of family friends, or even my community spoke even one single word for my sake when I was vulnerable and needed protection.
Not one damn soul.
Not a syllable of protest.

YOU didn't stay silent.

YOU cared enough to make your feelings and facts known.

You were the person who put the needs of those babies ahead of your own.

You were the only one who truly granted them their humanity.

Do you know what I would give to have just one person in my life to have given me a gift like that? Just one single person in my family, or my community, who wasn't complicit, silent, or uninterested in my fate at as a human being. Do you know what it would mean to me to have just one single person in my life who actually TRIED to save me? It would mean the world.

I actually have tears in my eyes thinking about this. I have no one who even tried to speak for me. To everyone else I was nothing more than disposable property. I would kill to have someone like you in my life. Someone who cared. Even if she didn't succeed in saving me. Just to know one single person cared enough to try might be enough to change things for me immeasurably.

You didn't fail.

You are a HERO.

I love you for speaking out. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for trying so hard. You've given those poor boys a voice when they had none. And that means so much more than you can possibly imagine.

"Any time you speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, you are heroically impacting lives and changing the world." -Danelle Day
