X-WR-CALDESC:We think the world would be better if everyone were included. 
 Around the world\, exclusion and discrimination continue to divide people 
 with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are chang
 ing that with grassroots action for inclusion. That’s Spread the Word.\n\n
 Spread the Word is a global engagement campaign to increase inclusion amon
 gst people with and without and developmental disabilities through grassro
 ots action. In schools\, workplaces\, and communities around the world\, l
 ocal leaders are taking a pledge to create socially inclusive places to le
 arn\, work\, and live.\n\nFounded by two youth leaders in 2009 as Spread t
 he Word to End the Word\, the campaign focused its first 10 years on addre
 ssing a particularly powerful form of exclusion: the word ‘retard(ed)’. Ov
 er 10 years\, leaders and self-advocates collected millions of digital and
  physical pledges to end the R-word. Each of these pledges was a personal 
 commitment to acknowledge the hurt caused by the R-word and to be respectf
 ul in the words and actions taken towards people with intellectual and dev
 elopmental disabilities. With leadership from Special Olympics and Best Bu
 ddies and support from hundreds of other advocacy organizations\, the camp
 aign grew from a handful events in 2009 to reach thousands of schools by 2
 018.\n\nIn 2019\, Spread the Word to End the Word became Spread the Word\,
  with a focus not just on the elimination of a word but on the creation of
  a new reality: inclusion for all people with intellectual and development
 al disabilities. The campaign remains committed to empowering grassroots l
 eaders to change their communities\, schools\, and workplaces\, now throug
 h a call to their peers to commit to taking action for inclusion. With thi
 s change\, Spread the Word will give community leaders for inclusion aroun
 d the world the tools the needed to create change in their local circumsta
 nces.\n\nIn 2009\, this campaign was founded on the audacious belief that 
 grassroots action could end the discrimination and exclusion faced by peop
 le with intellectual and developmental disabilities and replace it with in
 clusion. This remains our guiding principle. The first 10 years of Spread 
 the Word to End the Word have only made us more confident in this belief. 
 But they have also shown how much more work remains to be done.\n\nMake yo
 ur pledge and take your action for a more inclusive world. Join millions w
 ho have done the same. And spread the word.\n\nOnward.
