Let's Love One Another

Girl Reading

   Although before your time, do you remember the song “Get Together” by the Youngbloods? It’s that 1960s peace-and-love anthem that urges all of us to love one another. What better way to get over your post-turkey lethargy than by taking action to make loving one another a modern reality?

   You can do so by applying for a grant at Tolerance.org. This organization will give $500 to youth-directed programs that challenge social boundaries in schools and communities. If you have a creative way to break down the walls that keep everybody from getting together, then go to tolerance.org/teens/grants, complete the application, and send it in. You’ll hear back from Tolerance.org within four weeks.

   In addition to offering grants, Tolerance.org is a valuable resource, which describes itself as “a principal online destination for people interested in dismantling bigotry and creating, in hate’s stead, communities that value diversity.” Here, you can learn about Mix It Up at Lunch, swap ideas and opinions with other student activists, or keep informed about current events relating to tolerance. Don’t just sing about loving one another – live it. Tolearnce.org can help.
