#LoveIsLouder




I recently stumbled upon this amazing organization that deals with issues that are near and dear to my own heart.  I would like to find a way to support this organization and spread the word around my university (possibly through a concert), but first I'm just going to get the information out there.

Here is a description, taken directly from the website (hope that's ok):

"Love is Louder was started by The Jed Foundation, MTV and Brittany Snow to support anyone feeling mistreated, misunderstood or alone. It’s hundreds of thousands of people just like you who have turned this idea into a movement.  A movement of all types of people who have come together to raise the volume around the message that love and support are louder than any internal or external voice that brings us down.

Individuals, communities, schools and organizations have embraced Love is Louder as a way to address with issues like bullying, negative self-image, discrimination, loneliness and depression.  Even as we work to stop negative words and actions that hurt us, we can strengthen our abilities to cope with hard times, focus on the positive, support the people around us and reach out for help if we need it."
