R-Word Awareness Day March 6, 2013





Pledge your support to eliminate the demeaning use of the r-word.


Why Pledge
The R-word is the word 'retard(ed)'. Why does it hurt? The R-word hurts because it is exclusive. It's offensive. It's derogatory.

Our campaign asks people to pledge to stop saying the R-word as a starting point toward creating more accepting attitudes and communities for all people. Language affects attitudes and attitudes affect actions. Pledge today to use respectful, people-first language.

Pledge & be Heard, Information, Resources : http://www.r-word.org/
