I foster dogs that are in high kill shelters in the Mid-West, and have no other place to go

Why are you participating?

To show people that you can NEVER judge a book by its cover. I want to show my two daughters that they can be proud of who they are, no matter what others say or how they may be judged. Hopefully, when they are older, they won't be discouraged by being different and independent.

As a teacher of students with disabilities, I make sure that everyday I provide my students with the support, resources, and the care they need in order to ensure their personal growth and academic success. Being part of my students' growth and success is very rewarding and it is one of the reasons why I love my job so much. As a mother, and as a professional Latina woman, I want to be a role model for my sons and students. I want them to know that with motivation, dedication, and effort dreams and goals can be achieved.

Why are you participating?

I like the No Evil Project concept that promotes the fact that what makes us special and unique are our differences!

I work with homeless families because it is very hard to be a family when you don't have a home.

Why are you participating?

It is a cool idea and I am not evil. Evil gets too much attention; it's time to focus on the good.

I am a gay/trans-rights activist, spent high school forming a small private school's first Gay/Straight Alliance, & college canvassing neighborhoods for the HRC. I work hard to make sure my kids don't use/see labels --- which is incredibly difficult in the small, nearly-all-white Protestant town that I live in.

I also spend a few evenings a week working for the United Way & their various fundraisers and volunteering at the various organizations that the United Way supports.

Why are you participating?

I've worked against labels my whole life. I hate that when people see me they assume things. I think it's wonderful that this project is working to make people see beyond what is in front of their face and into the person that lies beneath. Sometimes the labels are right.

Helped people young and old cook for health.

Why are you participating?

Labels build walls and I want to help build an unobstructed world for my daughter (and yours!). This project works to break down barriers and to help us see each other for who we are.

I'm a leader with End Demand Worcester, a community collaboration to shift law enforcement's attention to sex traffickers and people who buy sex, while advocating and proposing a network of support for victims and survivors of the sex trade.

Why are you participating?

I'm more than my situation or my disability. We all are.

I do try to always forward kindness and compassion.

Why are you participating?

I like the ideal of being part of something that presents the unseen, it can challenge how others may perceive one and the assumptions made.
