#action1dproject

Thank you to all of you who:

You’ve all done an amazing job and together, we created a voice of tens of thousands that can’t be unheard! 

Given this is such an important topic in the fandom and beyond right now, we are continuing our focus on discrimination and bullying for another week here at action1dproject. We will continue to work with World Almighty to highlight issues of discrimination and bullying throughout this week.

Taking a stand against Discrimination and Bullying with Action1dproject 

Monday 17 August - Sunday 23 August

This week Action1dproject will be focussing our attention on discrimination and bullying in all it’s forms. Whether it is race-based discrimination, workplace harassment, cyber-bullying or discrimination because of gender, sexuality or religion, we are taking a stand against these issues in the fandom and beyond.

We are particularly proud to be collaborating with World Almighty to present a series of posts throughout the week to raise awareness and understanding of other cultures, and discuss how we can reduce and prevent discrimination on the basis of nationality and culture in the fandom.

We are using the hashtag #TakeAStandWithAction1D on both twitter and tumblr so retweet and reblog, or use the tag to get your voice heard.

What does this have to do with action/1D and Action2015?

Though Action/1D is closed for submissions, the project and Action2015 continues ahead of two critical summits.  One in September that will result in new global goals – a framework to end all forms of poverty, discrimination, and inequality. The other summit in December will set new climate action targets – a crucial step towards a safer planet. 

In the lead up to these summits Action1dproject and World Almighty will continue to highlight issues that affect the fandom and the world. This week we want to discuss discrimination and bullying in particular because they have  both significantly impacted our fandom and fans more generally. And the initiatives that have resulted to combat them have been inspiring.

Can I get involved?

Yes we would love to hear from you. Send an ask, tell us a story, or even a video about how discrimination and bullying effects you and your life, and your world. Just as importantly are stories about how you or your family and community have taken a stand on these issues.
