Take Action

Do you remember when you were in grade school and all of your classmates gave Valentine’s cards to each other? Sure, you might put an extra cool sticker on the card for your really good friends, but even so, everyone got a card.

I’m trying to remember when I stopped that practice and started only giving a card on years that I had a significant other. High school? College, maybe? And why did this change occur?

What would happen if we started being more inclusive in our celebration of Valentine’s Day again? What if we went out of our way on Valentine’s Day to make sure the people we care about know they are loved? It is the hope of Team Black that you will do just that.

Here are three ways you can take action with Team Black this Valentine’s Day.

1. Do something special (and unique and creative) for all of your friends – singles and couples. Buy them cards (or better yet, make them some). Give them chocolate. Go out to eat together. Sing them a song. Whatever. Just do something.
2. Wear black. All black, all day.
3. Tell people about Team Black and about this website.

Also, if you do take action this Valentine’s Day, please take pictures/videos! Specifically, at least one of yourself wearing black, but also of any activities you do. And send all your pictures/videos to us at teamblack14@gmail.com
