The campaign will encourage DoSomething.org members to post inspirational quotes from famous athletes and writers in locker rooms, gyms and libraries. The quotes will be about the importance of kindness, perseverance and overcoming adversity. The goal is to help young people express compassion and choose kindness in troubling situations, all while helping to build a culture of positivity in their schools.
