Spread the WORD to end the WORD
It is time to “Spread the Word to End the Word”. Help others stop
and think about their use of the R-word. That R-word is not
“recession,” but something more hurtful and painful – “retard.”
Spread the Word to End the Word will continue to raise the
consciousness of society about the dehumanizing and hurtful
effects of the R-word and encourage people to pledge to stop
using it.
Visit: www.R-word.org to make your pledge today!
