After you’ve taken the pledge, spread the word so others do too. Share about your pledge on FacebookTwitter, or Instagram and bring the message of inclusion wherever you go with Spread the Word apparel and gear.

Be a Leader

Challenge those around you to make their pledge for inclusion. Lead an event in your community asking others to make a commitment to make it more inclusive. All the resources you need to plan an event are available here.
