Erin Davie goal is to get at least one million people (both gay and straight) to add rainbow fagbug stickers to their cars so that no one will be targeted the way she was again.

What is Fagbug?
On the 11th annual National Day of Silence (April 18, 2007), Erin Davies was victim to a hate crime in Albany, NY. Because of sporting a rainbow sticker on her VW Beetle, Erin's car was vandalized, left with the words "fag" and "u r gay" placed on the hood and driver side of her car. Despite initial shock and embarrassment, Erin's decided to embrace what happened by leaving the graffiti on her car. Erin took her car, now known worldwide as the "fagbug" on a 58-day trip around the United States and Canada, and filmed a documentary about her experience. Along the way, Erin discovered other, more serious hate crimes, had people attempt to remove the graffiti, and experimented with having a male drive her car. After driving the fagbug for one year, Erin decided to give her car a makeover. The fagbug documentary is scheduled to be released on DVD summer 2010. Below are the official selections and awards the film's received so far:
