Help stop the harmful effects of the "R-word"

 Click to show your support for this campaign

Special Olympics invites you to be a fan of dignity and join in a campaign to stop the use of the “R-word.” This week, the film "Tropic Thunder" opens in movie theaters across the nation. While intended to be a satire on Hollywood actors and producers, the film contains scenes which are offensive and demean people with intellectual disabilities.

In one particular scene the “R-word” is said 16 times. This word hurts, even if it is not directed at a person with intellectual disabilities. For too long, people with intellectual disabilities have had to overcome the challenges society has put forth through stereotypes.

Please consider helping with this campaign by boycotting the film "Tropic Thunder" to help make a statement to Hollywood that we will not stand for this type of content that is hurtful to people with intellectual disabilities.

Be a fan of Dignity, don’t say the R-word. Visit www.R-word.org.
