CALL for ENTRIES: It Gets Better

It Gets Better

I don’t understand hate.  There is no food reference today because I cannot find a way to incorporate humor into this issue.

Please take advantage of the Call for Entries from the 13 Forest Gallery to take a stand against hate and help let someone out there know that It Gets Better.  The deadline is January 19th, but you can email entries…so don’t delay.

CALL for ENTRIES: It Gets Better/Make It Better

Social change starts with the individual. One gay teenager jumps off a bridge and thousands are motivated to share their coming-out stories.

One person can also serve as a positive symbol to effect social change. A woman keeps her seat on the bus and a social revolution is born.

By working to better the world, you actually make things better for yourself. Studies of collective action have shown that when people identify with a particular cause, and work towards social change, the change often occurs within—people feel legitimized.  Empowerment is not necessarily even reliant on the movement’s success: victory occurs in the very struggle of self-expression and self-empowerment.
