We believe that the world would be better if all people were valued, respected, embraced, included. Included in the games we play and the friends we make. Included in our schools, our workplaces, and our communities.
We are changing that with grassroots action for inclusion. That’s Spread the Word. Spread the Word is a global campaign in partnership with Best Buddies, focused not just on the elimination of the word ‘retard(ed)’ but on the creation of a new reality: inclusion for all people with intellectual disabilities. We encourage everyone to celebrate champions of change in their schools, workplaces and communities. Learn more about this important movement:
