#HeartBeatsHate

In a world where you can be anything, be KIND. And then, BE KINDER. A grassroots movement, we exist to stand up, speak out and push back against hatred and bullying - at home, on the playground, at sporting events and at work. We’re here to remind others they always have a choice - and that choice is kindness. Our goal is to build a better, brighter, kinder future for all. And we’re doing it with one simple message: love. Because love is greater than hate. And only HeartBeatsHate.


This isn't a small task. It takes courage to show kindness. Why? Because for too long it's been perceived as weakness, but this isn't the case. Kindness is powerful. It is also universal. It isn't bound by language, race, religion or creed. A simple smile, nod or wave hello has the power to transform someone's life - if even for a moment. In a world where hatred, violence and fear rule the headlines, we're working to provide an alternative story. One of acceptance, unity and hope.

How to choose KINDNESS everyday

Don't be a troll

Don't jump on the negative comment bandwagon. Be part of the solution by speaking and spreading more heart and kindness.

Connect

Get to know someone new. If you see someone sitting by themselves at lunch, ask to join them. Showing kindness doesn't have to be a big gesture.

Read the news

Stay informed and up-to-date with what's happening in the world, and engage with it. Ask others how you can be an ally.

Compliment

Say something nice to someone every day. We all need a little love.

Listen

Ask other groups what you can do to help them, don't swoop in with all the answers. Listening is the first step in being a good ally.

Speak up

If you hear a racist, sexist, or homophobic comment, tell the person that's not appropriate. Choose your side, and stand it.
