"HEY! We LOVE you!"
It is horrifying how many people feel alone and isolated in our world. Our culture is very centered around "ME" and what I want, I need. People often live as though there aren't billions of others struggling in the same broken world. We forget the value of life, how vital love is.

NOT TODAY.
No longer will we shove issues under the carpet. We renounce our apathy. People need each other, and it is extremely dangerous to forget that. TODAY, we are physically writing "LOVE" on our arms to symbolize our universal fight for life and to explain our commitment to communicate hope to others stuck in this place with us.

It's just the START.
LOVE IS OUR REVOLUTION.
We start now, fighting the lies people live with everyday about their worth. We care, and we will not sit back and let despair take over. We are reaching out with love to offer ourselves to people in desperate places of their lives.
