We rise by lifting others. Join us in celebrating World Kindness Day today! Each year, on November 13, people and organizations from around the globe come together to recognize the tremendous impact kindness can have on the world. Here at the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC), we believe one of the best ways to spread kindness on this special day and throughout the year is to help ensure all people are treated with care, compassion and equality. We recognize that our words and actions matter and weight shouldn't dictate whether or not we treat ourselves or others with kindness, but unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Through OAC's Stop Weight Bias Campaign, we are working to build a kinder world through education, awareness, advocacy and support. | |
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. - Leo Buscaglia | |
