Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I am a gay/trans-rights activist, spent high school forming a small private school's first Gay/Straight Alliance, & college canvassing neighborhoods for the HRC. I work hard to make sure my kids don't use/see labels --- which is incredibly difficult in the small, nearly-all-white Protestant town that I live in. I also spend a few evenings a week working for the United Way & their various fundraisers and volunteering at the various organizations that the United Way supports. I am an actress in a local theater company, and love the joy it brings to our audience members.
Why are you participating?: 

I've worked against labels my whole life. I hate that when people see me they assume things. I think it's wonderful that this project is working to make people see beyond what is in front of their face and into the person that lies beneath. Sometimes the labels are right.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I taught my kids to ask, "What can I do to help?" I try to live up to that myself; sometimes it involves jumper cables on a dark and stormy night, and sometimes it doesn't need to be any more than a well-placed grin.
Why are you participating?: 

I believe we were put here to listen to each other's stories, and to help each other along in the parade of life. Applications for free hugs are always given serious attention.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I like to leave my friends small notes for them to find later on their whiteboard, on a post-it, or wherever. They usually say something like, "Happy Friday" or "I love you," nothing elaborate. It's just a simple way to remind people that I care about them.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
With the help of a friend I started a Habitat for Humanity group at my college.
Why are you participating?: 

I think it is a very innovative way of showing the pointlessness of stereotyping when there is good in people and feel fortunate that I was able to take part in it.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
While driving, I witnessed a car accident with an elderly man. I pulled over, called 911, and went up to the car. After moving the car to a safer location, I sat in the man's car talking with the man and waiting for the police to come.
