Silent Solidarity serves to draw attention to the voiceless - the poor, the persecuted, etc. By using such a unique method, Silent Solidarity promotes curiosity. During the day participants are asked not to speak from 9am- 5pm. This is to give the students a taste of what it like feel and be different from the majority. While some did not seem to understand the purpose of the event importance most people treated it with the respect it deserves.
“What makes a successful event IS NOT the number of people that attend, or the amount of money raised, but rather the impact it has on those participants who really care about the cause.
There were a great many students involved in Silent Solidarity because they consider themselves to be one of the many silenced minorities represented in this year's day of silence.” While that may or may not be true it made me feel good when I saw people where stickers saying I’m silent today to support people with a physical disability.
