LOS ANGELES--The Love Button Global Movement announced the launch of new educational, humanitarian and integrative health programs. An appeal was made at the nonprofit organization’s recent retreat in Los Angeles to put love into action by supporting the #GiveLoveCampaign, which funds Love Button programming and outreach, including youth programs to end shaming and bullying in schools, training compassionate physicians of tomorrow, and global humanitarian programs.
 

The Love Button Global Movement organization is known for its round lapel pins with the word “Love” printed on them. The Love Button symbolizes the power of love to ignite a global conversation in healing the world, as well as a physical reminder to act with kindness and compassion.  

These Love Buttons are worn daily by many celebrities, including Chris Martin, the front man of international rock band ColdPlay. Chris Martin also highlighted Love Button during ColdPlay’s halftime performance at Super Bowl 50 where 75,000 attendees in the stadium held up tiles, which collectively spelled out “Believe in Love.” Other high-profile influencers are regularly seen wearing a Love Button, including media personality Stephanie Ruhle who anchors two daily news programs on MSNBC.
 

The #GiveLoveCampaign benefits the following programs: 
 

~ School Outreach Programs – student programs to counter bullying, shaming, and exclusion with love. It will feature speakers, workshops and curriculum development to support compassion and empathy in schools and to provide an emotional and social foundation for our youth.
 

~ Integrative Medicine Research & Outreach Program - offered in partnerships with universities, it provides access to treatment services for underserved patient populations, physical and mental health well-being curriculum, and training the next generation of loving and compassionate physicians.
 

~ International Humanitarian Activities – Partnering with global organizations to provide access to education and medical services, community development, orphanage construction, prison fellowship, homeless and underserved community relief, and support of victims of torture.
 

The #GiveLoveCampaign also supports Love Button’s outreach efforts and allow the organization to distribute buttons to students, schools, charities and its partner humanitarian organizations.

Love Button shares buttons with communities impacted by tragedies to promote healing, including at Parkland, Florida following the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas. In addition, Love Button distributes buttons through its Dandelion Initiative, which has the mission to spread love across the globe like the spores of the dandelion.
