Special Olympics Calls for an End to the "R Word"

The R-word is dehumanizing and demeaning to the 200 million people around the world who have intellectual disabilities.

We are asking everyone to be fans of dignity by eliminating the use of the "R-word" as a derogatory term in our language.

Help us change the conversation now!
