Tell Us Your Good Deed:
I volunteer with LGBTQ youth at Safe Homes in Worcester. I love being an example to the kids that growing up doesn't have to mean conforming. I'm not sure that it qualifies as a good deed though. I think they have done more to help me than I have to help them. They remind me why I'm an activist and why the LGBTQ community needs people like myself.
Why are you participating?:
I truly believe that stereotypes are a detriment to our society. I am judged every singly day of my life and I know that most of those judgements are wrong.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:
I listen to others and try to help them through problems. I adopt abandoned cats. Most importantly, whenever I pass people on the street I smile at them or offer another kind gesture, because you never know if they're having a rotten day.
Why are you participating?:
In the midst of all the bad in the world, goodness still exists. This project is a perfect way to prove that.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:
Every year I volunteer at The Walk for the Homeless. Rain or shine, I am there. Directing walkers, posting signs or helping pass out food. We raised thousands of dollars a year for the cause.
Why are you participating?:
I have always liked to help the less fortunate, it feels really good to be part of something that makes a difference in someone's life.

I am an eco-artist, and advocate for decreased plastic usage through my work.
Why are you participating?:
People are so limited by the labels other put on them. Most labels aren't truly accurate.
I suppose that I am doing this project to say, yes, I am that label. Here's the truth about it and here's why it's actually a compliment.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:
I guess I try to do small 'good deeds' all the time. I feel that the little things always count. Something as small as holding a door for someone or smiling at them can make their day. One time when I hadn't thought much of it I was at Walmart in a small town in Vermont and there was a person behind me who only had one of those Campbell handshake soups and a drink and I let them go ahead of me. Little did I know they were late for class less than a block a way and they were quite appreciative. She and I had a small conversation and I really liked her earrings, she ended up telling me that she made them and was unsure of them. She then gave them to me as a thank you even though I told her she didn't need to.
Why are you participating?:
As for my labels of choice I feel that those are reasons people may talk about me. I currently work for a non-profit organization where I am able to use all of these labels in my work. I am a peer support worker/peer outreach counselor.
