It’s almost Spread the Word Day!

And more than ever, the world is in need of action for inclusion. In schools, workplaces, and communities, divisions lead to exclusion and social isolation without the opportunity to learn and grow together.

Each year at Special Olympics, we work to raise awareness about the effects of the R-word and stop its use for good through the Spread the Word: Inclusion campaign. As we approach Spread the Word Day tomorrow, will you commit to ending the use of the R-word — and building a more inclusive society where all are accepted? Join me and sign the Spread the Word pledge today! 

Together we can create communities of acceptance and inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
