On March 3, 2010, Best
Buddies, Special Olympics and supporters from across the
world will unite in support of a grass roots movement
challenging the use of the R-word, an outdated word that
must be recognized for its hurtful impact on people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. Spread the Word
to End the Word awareness day will engage schools,
organizations and communities by raising the consciousness
of society about the dehumanizing and hurtful effects of the
R-word and encouraging everyone to stop using this word by
signing our pledge and encouraging their friends to do the
same.
Please help us achieve our goal of 100,000 pledges by
visiting
www.r-word.org and taking the pledge today. You can also
show your support by purchasing merchandise at the new
www.r-wordstore.com.
Our language frames how we think about others. Help
eliminate the use of the R-word in everyday speech.
