Can you think of anyone else who should be nominated for a Characters Unite Award? I can!! What about Barbara Anderson and Steve Hassan?
What will you do to encourage someone else to self-nominate themselves for a Character Unite Award? I have!! I wrote messages to both Barbara Anderson and Steve Hassan. I would have written to Raymond Franz, but he has passed.
If you feel uncomfortable writing Barbara Anderson, Steve Hassan, or some other Character, please post who you would nominate to this thread to keep this thread near the top of the active threads.
Characters Unite Mission
THE MISSION
Characters Unite, USA Network’s award-winning public service program, was created to address the social injustices and cultural divides still prevalent in our society.
Inspired by USA Network’s iconic “Characters Welcome” brand and with the support of leading national nonprofit organizations, the ongoing campaign is dedicated to supporting activities and messaging that combat prejudice and intolerance while promoting understanding and acceptance — on-air, online, and in communities across the country.
Silence is consent!! So at least start raising your voice even if it is only a whisper to say no to shunning family and friends because leaders say it is the right thing to do, say no to prejudice, say no to fear. Say yes to unconditional LOVE!!
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
Robert
