					<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow, April 8th, is the International Day of Pink, when people stand against bullying. This year&#8217;s theme calls us to tune in to the voices of queer and trans communities, past and present. On April 8, 2026, millions wear pink to stand against bullying, discrimination, and hate. But this year, we’re not just standing—we’re listening. [&#8230;]]]></description>
