National Decency Day

This National Decency Day on May 14, make it a point to spread the message of how a decent human being can lead to the overall progress of a society. Here’s all you need to know about the special day!

National Decency Day was created by a New York-based graphic designer Lisa Cholnoky in 2017 after she witnessed a heated political debate amongst relatives. Seeing how aggressive people get when speaking of anything concerning their beliefs, Lisa came up with the idea of promoting ‘decency’ during any kind of discourse that takes place between people. To spread the idea, Lisa designed a ‘DECENCY’ button and endorsed the message by wearing it every day. The three points that the designer spoke of included: Active Listening, Better Understanding, and Compassion. The minute the idea was launched, people jumped on the bandwagon and began supporting the cause. Today, every May 14, the mission of spreading decency is celebrated to bring back the public dignity all Americans deserve.
