Jeans Day
Friday, March 14
Wear jeans on March 14 to show your support for the civil rights of others. While people can't choose their race, nationality, sexual orientation, or many other aspects of life that they are born with, you can choose what to wear every day. Jeans day is to show people that we support and accept the diversity of others and give people control over their lives, if only for one day.
