## Description

Spread the Word is a global campaign dedicated to promoting inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Founded in 2009 as Spread the Word to End the Word, the initiative initially focused on eliminating the derogatory term 'retard(ed)'. Through digital and physical pledges, leaders and self-advocates have worked to raise awareness and respect for those with disabilities.

With the support of organizations like Special Olympics and Best Buddies, Spread the Word has evolved to emphasize broader inclusion efforts beyond just removing a word. The campaign empowers grassroots leaders to drive change in their communities, schools, and workplaces, fostering socially inclusive environments worldwide.

Join the millions who have taken action to create a more inclusive world. Spread the Word and be a part of this movement towards a brighter, more unified future.
