Tomorrow,
December 1st 2012, would have been Matt’s 36th birthday. In honor of
his life, his legacy, and the wonderful work of the Matthew Shepard Foundation I
would like to do something special to remember and celebrate Matt.
My
idea is quite simple. I ask that this weekend, you snap a photo of
yourself wearing your Erase Hate Wristband and if you choose to hold a
birthday wish, or a message of hope, please include it in the photo.
You can post it directly to the Erase Hate Photo Campaign for the Matthew Shepard Foundation Facebook page. I
will collect all photos and compile a special video of the images. This
powerful act will take less than a minute out of your weekend but the
impact, I hope, will be quite powerful.
Remember….”one picture is worth a
thousand words.”
Happy Birthday to Matt! I look forward to seeing your pictures, and thank you.
