STAYING BOTHERED. verb
Staying Bothered is an action. Yes, step one is to get bothered about something, but we’re all bothered about things. What sets apart people who are staying bothered is the action of getting involved to alter the course of the issue(s) that bothers you. Involvement will mean something different to every individual, and can range from volunteering to organizing events to making donations.
WHAT WOULD THE WORLD LOOK LIKE IF WE WERE ALL BOTHERED…
and doing something about it?
The goal of this movement is to encourage you to find a cause that moves you, then get involved on the level that feels right to you. You’re doing enough by rocking a Staying Bothered tee, you’re doing enough by volunteering, you’re doing enough by donating. Getting bothered, being involved, and spreading awareness will ultimately change the world. If we’re all doing our part, the world will change.
ROCK A TEE
Buy the tee to take part in #StayingBotheredStories, to make your donation, or simply because it’s a great way to start a conversation that will spread awareness for what bothers you.
DONATE
Schedule booked? That’s okay, there’s other ways to get involved. Donations of money and goods are vital to the continuing success of any non-profit and a great means of #stayingbothered.
VOLUNTEER
There’s no better feeling than getting directly involved, side by side, with others sharing a passion for the same cause. Most charitable organizations list volunteer options on their websites (like Caring for Cambodia’s Travel with a Purpose program) – take a peek at our resources section for contact information.
SPEAK UP
See something? Say something! Your voice is the most powerful tool for change. You can stay bothered simply by starting conversations, talking to directly affected people, continuing to educate yourself, and spreading awareness.
ORGANIZE
Gather friends, family and your local community members to help enact change through fundraisers and events! Excitement for change is contagious, and those around you will want to get in on it with you.
