- Idea Submission for The People's Money:
- Create a "PSA" for disability. This PSA should shine a light on the hurtful impact of using derogatory language toward people with disabilities. Featuring individuals with autism, developmental, and physical disabilities, the campaign reminds viewers that words have power — they can either uplift or harm. This powerful message challenges everyone to choose respect, kindness, and inclusion when they speak, because changing how we talk can change how we treat one another.
- What is the problem your idea aims to address?
- Awareness and education are key to inclusion. Negative language still fuels stigma and misunderstanding. Supporting campaigns like this helps shift attitudes, promote respect, and create a culture where individuals with disabilities are truly seen, heard, and valued.
