[Newman-l] FW: Spread the Word to End the Word

[Pokas, Olivia]

Hey guys, this is an email I received through my APhiO listserv.  I really encourage you to take the time and watch the YouTube video. I know personally I am terrible about this and don't even think about it. Hopefully you watch the video and mentally take action to correct yourself in everyday speech. Thanks.

P.S. Congratsss new officers, it's going to be a great year!

Hi everyone,



As some of you may know, there is a campaign going on right now called "Spread the Word to End the Word: The R-Word."  As we are very involved with ATCO, I encourage you all to take a few minutes to watch this inspiring video and then sign the pledge to take action and stop using the word "retarded" in everyday speech.



Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF9iz8ppwXs



Here is the link where you can make the pledge: http://www.r-word.org/



Thanks bros!



In LFS,



MacKenzie Snyder
