We Wear Pink On Wednesdays!

For my Global Peace course me and my classmates had to create a non-violent project that spreads awareness to a cause we picked. The organization I chose was the Anti-bullying organization, (a.k.a) Pink shirt day. This organization supports anti bullying and tries to put a stop to bullying due to deaths, etc. Bullying is an act of use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants . I chose this organization because they are trying to put a stop to a violent problem.
 For my action project I carried out a plan for me and my classmates to wear Pink on Wednesday since that was the actual day (but not the exact month) you are supposed to show support for Anti-bullying . I spread-ed the word by project telling people through posters, and word of mouth. I told people what my project was about and how they could support the cause (by wearing pink) . Although the majority of people I told did not show up I still managed to take a successful picture! The next time I have to do a project similar to this I will make sure I announce it formally to everyone. In conclusion this project taught me more about how people have organized these national events which is really great for people to become aware of.
