Pink Shirt Day
|
| Travis Price was bullied throughout high school. One day, at the start of school in 2007, he saw a grade 9 student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. As a senior, Price decided to stand up for this student, and for himself, and do something to set an example for the school. Together with his best friend, David Shephard, Price bought 75 pink tank tops and asked the other students at school to wear pink shirts the next day. 80% of the students complied, and Pink Shirt Day was born. Today, the pink shirt has become an international symbol for anti-bullying. |

Dignity Village: Homes For Portland’s Homeless
“On a frigid January morning in Portland, Ore., a tour through Dignity Village follows the same path its residents are required to travel. All were, or are, homeless. Newcomers to this homeless refuge huddle in the warming station, a small portable with photos of smiling former residents and where they are required to stay during a 60-day probationary period. They hope to graduate to a small makeshift home like Karen, a three-month resident whose boisterous laugh carries through the village…’There’s a real sense of pride here, a real sense of community that you don’t find elsewhere,’ she says. Called an “intentional community” by its members and a homeless encampment by outsiders, Dignity Village is a step toward curbing Portland’s skyrocketing homeless population.” { read more }
Be The Change
Consider ways you can help the homeless. Consider, too, how you might treat those you live or work with and whom you encounter today to spread a sense of welcome and good cheer. |
