A Worthwhile Read for November

November Is for Remembering: Why These Awareness Campaigns Matter

November is not just the start of the holiday season—it’s a month of reckoning, remembrance, and radical care. Across seven powerful campaigns, we’re called to honor lives, raise voices, and confront truths that are too often ignored. Each cause deserves its own spotlight. Together, they form a tapestry of healing and action.

 Movember: Growing Courage, One Moustache at a Time

Movember turns facial hair into a global symbol of solidarity. Behind every moustache is a man—or a memory—facing prostate cancer, testicular cancer, or mental health struggles. This campaign challenges stigma and silence, encouraging men to speak up, seek help, and take charge of their health. It’s not just about growing a moustache—it’s about growing a movement.

 Native American Heritage Month: Honoring Sovereignty and Story

This month celebrates the history, culture, and achievements of Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians. It’s a time to amplify Indigenous voices, confront historical erasure, and support sovereignty and healing. From “Rock Your Mocs” to Red Shawl Day, November invites us to listen, learn, and uplift the stories that shaped this land long before colonization.

 Diabetes Awareness Month: Every Number Is a Life

Diabetes affects millions—and yet, too many still face barriers to diagnosis, care, and support. This campaign focuses on education, prevention, and management, empowering individuals to “know their numbers” and take control of their health. It’s also a call to advocate for affordable insulin, equitable care, and community-based solutions.

 Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month: Memory Is Sacred

Alzheimer’s doesn’t just steal memory—it reshapes families, futures, and entire communities. November shines a light on early detection, caregiver support, and the urgent need for research. Wearing purple, walking in solidarity, and sharing stories helps break stigma and build a world where dignity and care are never forgotten.

 Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Month: Shelter Is a Human Right

This campaign confronts the realities of food insecurity and housing instability—issues that affect millions, especially during the colder months. From community events to advocacy toolkits, November mobilizes us to donate, volunteer, and demand systemic change. Because no one should have to choose between warmth and nourishment.

 COPD Awareness Month: Breathing Shouldn’t Be a Battle

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and underfunded. This month raises awareness about symptoms, early detection, and treatment options. It’s also a chance to support those living with chronic lung disease and to push for better access to care and education.

 Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month: Fighting for Every Hour

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, often diagnosed too late. November’s campaign centers early detection, research funding, and patient support. Wearing purple, joining virtual events, and sharing survivor stories helps fuel hope and drive progress toward better outcomes.

Each of these campaigns is a lifeline—for someone you know, someone you’ve lost, or someone still fighting. November asks us to show up: with compassion, with clarity, and with action.

Let’s make this month count.
