It is time to “Spread the Word to End the Word,” and tomorrow, 31 March, events throughout the United States and around the world will make people stop and think about their hurtful and disparaging use of the word “retard.”

On Tuesday, March 31 people throughout the world will stand united to spread awareness that the time is NOW for the “r” word to end.

Many don’t understand why this word is so offensive. However, this is considered a hate word, a racial slur, an intent to harm.

March 31 is also the last day for Early Registration for the Down Syndrome Research & Awareness Conference. On April 1st these prices will go up. Please visit our website by clicking here to find out more information.
