ABC7 is proud to take part.
GLAAD and other organizations are asking people to wear purple and post photos on social media.
As part of the ABC7 campaign, we came up with our own messages of hope.
Post your Spirit Day photos on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook by tagging them #abc7now and we may show them online or on TV
As a former #LGBT youth and a current #LGBT old, I really appreciate you celebrating #SpiritDay in purple. Let's end bullying. cc: @glaad pic.twitter.com/dJwFkNpDDo
