The idea behind this campaign is to use the power of kindness to make this world a better place, to give hope to the marginalized and ultimately bring people together. We continue to work towards this. Get involved! Join us in our activism.

From the Bernstein Family: We want to thank all of you, from our neighbors in Orange County to the thousands of you from around the world, for all of the support our family has received these past 6 plus years. We hope you understand that while we are thrilled with the jury verdict and the end of the trial, we will not be making any additional statements about the judicial proceedings until its conclusion after sentencing on October 22, 2024.
