Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I saved my brother from drowning when we were kids.
Why are you participating?: 

I am participating in the project because labels have negatively affected me and I would like people to know me for who I am as a person rather than just a few groups (ethnic, social, economic) that I am a part of.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
In high school, I went to Mali, West Africa and lived in an indigenous village for two weeks to help build a school. Mali is one of the poorest undeveloped countries in the world and the literacy rate is unbelievably low. I like knowing that I helped both children and adults learn to read and write which will help not only this small village, but Mali as a whole.
Why are you participating?: 

Sometimes we are too quick to judge people by the external things that we see. This project allows for us to see the good in the world and to breathe hope back into humanity.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
Of all the actions, seeing, hearing and speaking, the one that I control is what I say. The others I refuse to participate with. I have always loved locs, the hairstyle, and the positive energy of those that wear them. I currently do volunteer work with Art in the Park, Worcester, support Democracy, activate for a community where the institutions and the cultural life reflect that of its inhabitants.
Why are you participating?: 

I like the fact that the no evil project is a simple positive project and an easy way to activate.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I am an educator who believes in the power of I Can. Math teacher by trade, I encourage students aged 5-18 to give math a chance. No one would admit to being illiterate, but for some reason it's okay to admit that math isn't your strength. Well, I happen to know that with effective effort, anyone can be good at anything. My job, when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, is to show people that.
Why are you participating?: 

I participate for two reasons: first, it's a really good idea. We all have labels, some negative, some not, but I think that whether or not we choose to embrace those labels is most important.
