More Than a Card: The Heart of You Matter Marathon
You know it and I know it – people are going through a lot right now. Many of us are feeling afraid and disconnected. We sometimes feel helpless. But we’re not. We can take a stand, we can reach across divides, simply by having the courage and conviction to share two words on a card.
Each You Matter card, and our movement, is anchored in core beliefs most notable that everyone, absolutely everyone matters.
What We Believe
At the core of the You Matter Marathon are these guiding principles:
-
-
- We envision a world where individuals naturally and regularly affirm the significance and value of one another.
- We believe the world would be a more peaceful and joyful place if every person knew they mattered.
- The path to a more peaceful and joyful world begins with daily acts of connecting in positive and sincere ways that honor our common humanity.
- We believe that one way to affirm our own significance is to regularly affirm the significance of others.

Why It Matters Now More Than Ever
Right now, many people are quietly struggling, feeling unseen or unheard. In many ways our society has taught us to be afraid and distant from each other. We’re in a crisis of people not feeling like they matter, and it’s something we can actively combat together.
Sharing a You Matter card is a small act with immense power. It’s a direct counter to the isolation many feel. It’s simple but profoundly necessary. A You Matter card isn’t just sharing a little bit of kindness, it’s a vital message.
Don’t just read about our mission—be the mission! Go out today and share a You Matter card with someone. See the ripple effect of a simple act of connection.
Thank you for being a vital part of spreading our message.
