As February wound down Tuesday, the crowds on K Street were asked
to be a part of the end of "Characters Unite" month, a program set forth
by the USA Network in the month of February to fight against
discrimination and hate.
Farragut Square housed a special photo booth
and exhibit where visitors could take photos, create video messages and
make t-shirts that read "I won't stand for..." combined with one of the
campaigns signature themes.
People in the area swung through to express that
they wont stand for Hate/racism/sexism/bullying and a variety of other
themes that need to be stamped out of people's personalities.
The Characters Unite program has been a prominent undertone
for the network and its talent in recent months and the pop-up tour has
been part of a national series of events to further spread the messages.
The network lent some star power to the event including White Collar's
Willie Garson, Psych star Tim Omundson and Coby Bell from Burn Notice
who were on hand to chat with the press, take photos and promote the
good will of the program.
