#BeGolden Initiative

The Golden Rule has been around for thousands of years, spanning across cultures and religions. It’s something we were all raised with, but are quick to forget. We’re about to change that. 

The #BeGolden campaign is a rallying cry for our community to unite under the Golden Rule and remember to practice it every day, especially with those who are immigrants. It’s a message of unity, civility, and empathy. We want to remind people that this isn’t a political or legal issue, it’s a human issue.

Our goal is to build awareness and educate the members of our community, so we always remember to put ourselves in other people’s shoes, especially when it comes to topics like immigration. If we treat our neighbors the way we would like to be treated, we’d be surprised to discover that the things we have in common far outweigh the things that divide us.
