From NPR: Boston Launches Anti-Islamophobia Poster Campaign

The city of Boston is using the well-known illustrated one-pager by Maeril in an anti-Islamophobia poster campaign.  Extracted from the full NPR article published on July 18, 2017:

The city of Boston is launching a poster campaign to fight Islamophobia by encouraging bystanders to intervene, in a nonconfrontational way, if they witness anti-Muslim harassment.

Starting Monday, the city began installing 50 posters around the city with advice on what to do if you see Islamophobic behavior. The posters recommend sitting by a victim of harassment and talking with them about a neutral subject while ignoring the harasser.

Below is the customized (and slightly simplified) version of the original Maeril graphic that the city is using.  Click it to enlarge.
