Symbol of Hope
The It Gets Better Hope Ribbon
The It Gets Better Hope Ribbon is more than a symbol — it is a declaration. It represents every person who has faced trauma, loss, incarceration, depression, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, injustice, or life's greatest challenges and chose to keep going.
BLACK — THE DARKEST NIGHT
Represents life's darkest moments, pain, trauma, incarceration, loss, grief, depression, and hopelessness. It reminds us that darkness is real. But darkness is never the end. It is a place also of new beginnings and space where the light can shine the brightest.
GOLD SUN — HOPE
Represents hope, healing, purpose, awakening, and a brighter day ahead. It reminds us that the sun will always rise again.
BLUE JOURNEY — THE STORY CONTINUES
Represents growth, resilience, healing, faith, and the chapters of life that have not yet been written. It reminds us that our story is still unfolding.
