We wear pink shirts on Pink Shirt Day to stand up against bullying and show support for kindness, inclusion, and acceptance.
Pink Shirt Day started in Canada in 2007 when two high school students in Cambridge organized classmates to wear pink after a Grade 9 boy was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Their simple act of solidarity sent a powerful message: no one should be bullied for who they are.
Now, Pink Shirt Day is recognized across Canada and in other countries as a day to:
π Stand up against bullying
π Support those who are being bullied
π Promote kindness and inclusion
π Remind others that everyone deserves respect
By wearing pink, we show that we are united against bullying and that we choose kindness
