Almost 90% of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students report being verbally harassed at school because of their sexual orientation. LGBT teens experience homophobic remarks and harassment throughout the school day, creating an atmosphere where they feel disrespected, unwanted and unsafe. Homophobic remarks such as “that’s so gay” are the most commonly heard; these slurs are often unintentional and a common part of teens’ vernacular. Most do not recognize the consequences, but the casual use of this language often carries over into more overt harassment. This campaign aims to raise awareness about the prevalence and consequences of anti-LGBT bias and behavior in America’s schools. Ultimately, the goal is to reduce and prevent the use of homophobic language in an effort to create a more positive environment for LGBT teens. The campaign also aims to reach adults, including school personnel and parents; their support of this message is crucial to the success of efforts to change behavior. ]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:45:12 -0400 Think Before You Speak-Fitting Room 11853560 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/think-before-you-speak-cashiers/11853560/

Each day, more than 1,200 young men and women give up on their high school education, and, in many cases, on themselves. Once students make the decision to drop out, they lack the tools to compete in today’s society and diminish their chances for greater success in the future. But the decision to drop out of school does not happen overnight; it comes after years of frustration and failure. Often, those that drop out have run out of motivation and have no source of support or encouragement in school or at home. The Boost campaign follows the stories of 10 at-risk seniors from across the country that are struggling to finish high school. Directing audiences to visit a redesigned BoostUp.org, the campaign has created a virtual community of support for any teen struggling to make it to graduation. Utilizing mobile messaging in addition to the most popular social networking sites - MySpace, YouTube and Facebook - visitors to the Boost Website have multiple opportunities to give a virtual "boost" to the profiled teens, and the teens in their own lives. BoostUp.org serves as a hub, facilitating conversations and aggregating support, in addition to serving as a resource to parents and teens. All of these elements are designed to work together to encourage peer discussion about the importance of graduating from high school. ]]> Tue, 23 Sep 2008 23:00:14 -0400 HSDOP-Frankie Revised 11625836 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/veterans-support-second-week/11625836/

Despite progress in the fight against gun crime in America, gun crime rates continue to be among the highest in the industrialized world. In 2005, for example, guns were used in more than two-thirds of the 16,700 homicides and in an estimated 420,000 nonfatal violent crimes in our country. Furthermore, 31% of all homicide victims were 13 to 24 years old, and these teenage and young adult victims were four times more likely to be murdered with a gun than with all other weapons combined. In reaction to this trend of violence, a campaign was launched in 2003 with Project Safe Neighborhoods, a nationwide commitment to reduce gun violence in America. The campaign is continually funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. ]]> Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:40:12 -0400 Reducing Gun Violence-Babies 11000832 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/inspiring-invention-suction-tires/11000832/

Through its history, America has been among the most innovative countries in the world. In order to continue this tradition, the Ad Council has partnered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the National Inventors Hall of Fame to create the Inspiring Invention PSA campaign in an effort to inspire a new generation of inventors. The campaign messaging is designed to encourage children, ages 8-11, to take an interest in inventing and to make creativity a fun and rewarding part of their lives. Using the messaging “Anything’s possible. Keep thinking.” provides kids with the motivating message that if you can imagine it then you can make it a reality. To renew this important message, the latest PSAs feature even more imaginative and outlandish inventions. Each featured invention shows an “inventor’s” imaginative improvements to everyday objects. The PSAs also direct kids to visit the campaign’s fully interactive Web site Inventnow.org. On the site kids are able to learn more about inventing, play exciting games and share their own inventions. ]]> Thu, 14 Aug 2008 04:30:11 -0400 Inspiring Invention-Suction Tires 10888679 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/adoption-phone/10888679/

The majority of waiting children are of color with older African American boys waiting the longest for adoption. Sadly each year 26,000 young adults age out of the foster care system without being adopted. General Market Effort: The general market campaign launched in July 2004 with the goal of raising awareness of the significant number of children in this country waiting to be adopted. New PSAs have been developed as an extension of the highly successful initial campaign. These new, heartwarming PSAs illustrate that parents do not need to be perfect to become a parent to a teen from foster care. The PSAs take a look at some of the ordinary situations that parents experience everyday with their children, thus reinforcing the notion that it is these moments that really count. ]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:52:58 -0400 Adoption-Hampster 10829918 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/financial-literacy-capiche/10829918/

The Feed the Pig campaign specifically targets those between 25 and 34. Statistics indicate that this groups financial behaviors, while less established, tend toward debt accumulation. More working time before retirement means that their current financial decisions have a greater impact (positive or negative) on their long-term financial security. ]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:52:58 -0400 Financial Literacy- Capiche
