R-Word. Spread the word to end the word.
The R-word is the word ‘retard(ed)’. Why does it hurt? The R-word hurts because it is exclusive. It’s offensive. It’s derogatory. The R-word is hate speech. Individuals and families of those with intellectual disability think the R-Word is hurtful when used in jokes or as part of everyday speech.
TAKE THE PLEDGE TODAY to 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.
Turn your commitment to action by getting involved with Special Olympics and Best Buddies. Find other ways to take action and get involved to help spread the word to end the word, find opportunities here.
