How
People around the world observe Loving Day every year on June 12th in meaningful and personal ways. While all are welcome, it can be especially significant for interracial couples, multiracial families, mixed race and transracially adopted people, and those with similar lived experience.
Many share photos and stories on social media with #lovingday, which has trended three times (so far). Others bring people together through events for their community, friends, or family (virtually or safely during the COVID-19 pandemic).
You can also use Loving Day as inspiration for using your creativity, skills, or professional talents in a positive way. Like other important yearly observations, Loving Day can be an intentional time to stand in solidarity with communities that intersect with ours.
Some have petitioned their local government for official recognition of Loving Day. They have been successful in many cities, some counties, and a few U.S. states – and you could be, too.
