I pledge and support the elimination of the derogatory use of the r-word from everyday speech and promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.

I pledge to stop using the word, and hopefully to change the word choices of my friends as well. It's a stigmatizing label, and people don't even realize how horrible cruel it is, when they trivialize it and use it in everyday speech. Stop the word!

We are ALL individuals, yet we are all human beings, deserving of respect and dignity...we can learn from each other. Let's abandon the use of labels and learn more about our individuality.

As the sister of individual who was given too much oxygen during a SIDS episode and was left brain-damaged & blind,I am tired of hearing the R-word. It is forbidden in my home and my friends know that it isn't acceptable. I preach that to everyone I know.

Thank you to whomever started this campaign!

Please take the time to educate friends, family, co-workers about how de-humanizing the R-word is. I'm a mother of a beauitful little boy with Down Sydrome, and a professional/advocate for adults with developmental disabilities. Create change!
