A MOVEMENT POWERED BY
Do you have a desire to make a difference in the world but are not sure how you can contribute?
Together, we can accept the challenge to abide with care to create a more compassionate and equitable society where we are an active part of the solution.
Join us in taking bold action in practical ways to champion positive change in our workplaces, schools, places of worship and communities.
Simple Acts Make A Difference
Be The Light.
Your commitment to a world where everyone is valued and respected will allow us to dismantle the negativity surrounding the ways we are unique, while valuing what we have in common: our humanity.
The ABIDE WITH CARE Challenge is an intentional movement with one simple requirement:
a personal commitment to growth.
DEI Has Been Misrepresented.
It Is Not About Denying Your Beliefs.
ABIDE WITH CARE exists to reinforce our ability to create safe spaces for everyone to belong through respectful dialogue, education and inclusive behaviors.
Our mission is not about changing ideological beliefs or choosing sides. We want everyone to be treated with care and have a seat at the table.
Through small, but intentional steps, we can live out our values centered around C.A.R.E.
Join us as we create awareness about the importance of appreciating diversity, respecting everyone, and embracing inclusion.
The voices against DEI are loud, but they are not the majority.
Through the ABIDE WITH CARE Challenge, we will shine a light on what DEI is, by educating ourselves on the true heart of its purpose.
This growth journey will allow you to demonstrate care to everyone you encounter with the support of other advocates on the same mission from across the globe.
Your voice matters. Your actions make a difference and your commitment will change the world for the better.
As a change agent in the ABIDE WITH CARE Challenge you believe that care is a language, we can all speak and is demonstrated through simple, consistent action.
We want to create a space for everyone to engage in DEI.
