DESCRIPTION:

The federal government, state governors, mayors, and others issue Character Counts Week proclamations yearly. These help raise awareness and draw attention to local celebrations and character-building success stories. The following is from the 2016 Presidential declaration.

"The task of shaping America's course falls to each of us as individuals who make up our American family, and as we celebrate National Character Counts Week, let us seek to live out the ideals that have inspired our country's journey that define our national character.

No matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, or your circumstances, America should be where the things that make you unique and different call for celebration. That promise of equality and acceptance has been our country's North Star since its founding. Thinking of how that centuries-old ideal translates into our lives today comes down to all of us showing others the compassion and acceptance that we would only wish for ourselves. Suppose we seek to understand one another and take advantage of opportunities to bring people together across lines of difference. In that case, we will increasingly realize as a people that we are more alike than we are different.

Let us listen to each other, see each other, and recognize the common humanity that makes America what it is. Let us embrace the multitudes of races, faiths, cultures, and origins that make up our diverse, vibrant Nation. It will make us better as a people and more potent as a country, and it starts with reflecting on how we live our lives, how we treat others, and the example we set for those around us. We have a collective obligation to reflect in our own lives the values we strive to reflect in our national life, and no gesture of goodwill is too small. Together, ripples of kindness can drown out voices of hate, wash away cynicism and doubt, and help us see the world in more authentic colors."
