Pink Globally, Act Locally
It's a pink world after all . . .
Wednesday, February 27th is Pink Shirt day, when we wear pink to show our opposition to bullying in all forms. Every year I like to make a point of wearing pink to show my solidarity with people who are bullied. Everyone deserves to feel safe, to be a part of our society, and to be free from fear and harassment.
Bully this!
I'm of a size and disposition that makes it unlikely I'll be bullied, so that makes it all the more important for people like me to stand up and say we won't allow bullying to happen in our presence. If you want to participate, I'd love to count you in. Check out Pink Shirt day's Facebook page, or just join me in wearing pink--I think it's the toughest colour I know.

Maybe next year I will remember to wear my pink shirt on the 27th.
Put a note in your calendar and join me in pink to show your support--I'd love it!
For me I want anti-bullying to be more than one day a year when I pay lip service by wearing pink, and every day to be one where I stand up for equality and the safety and dignity of all members of our society. I was raised to believe that we should be judged by how we treat those weaker than us, and I'd like to keep working on that, and welcome anyone who wants to join.
