Why We’re Going Blue
During National Missing & Trafficked Foster Children Awareness Week, we’re asking everyone to do one simple thing: go blue.
Wear blue. Light your porch blue. Decorate your storefront, classroom, dorm, or desk. Put a Blue Out frame on your profile, post it, tag @see.us.now, and ask three people to do the same. Together, we can raise awareness and show vulnerable foster youth that they are seen.
How to Participate
Participate from home, school, work, church, or anywhere in your community on Thursday, September 24.
Wear a blue shirt, ribbon, socks, or face paint. Invite your team, class, church, or office to match.
Use a blue porch light, bulbs, balloons, driveway chalk, a door ribbon, window paint, or a blue-lit storefront or sign.
Add the Step Up frame to your profile photo, selfie, group photo, or story so everyone can see why you’re blue.
Lead with #BlueOut, tag @see.us.now, invite us as a collaborator, and challenge three people to go blue.

Make Blue Visible
Blue shirt, ribbon, socks, or face paint. Pick a day for the whole team.
Use a porch light, blue bulbs, balloons, driveway chalk, or a ribbon on the door.
Put blue in the window, on the sign, or on receipts—and tell customers why.
Hold a blue spirit day, add blue to the marquee, or take a class photo in the frame.
Ask your mayor to light a landmark and sign the Awareness Week proclamation.
Post, tag @see.us.now, invite a collaboration, and ask three people to go blue.
Campaign Tools
The media kit includes creative examples and instructions for carrying the Blue Out message across your social channels.
Use the square (1080 × 1080) or story (1080 × 1920) campaign frame on a selfie, group photo, blue house or storefront, story, or profile picture.
Also included in the campaign materials: a simplified square/story frame featuring #BlueOut, #SeeUsNow, and the Awareness Week line. Photos shown in the kit are examples; use your own.
Invite others to join by adding a round, small-placement round, or banner Blue Out sticker to any post or story between now and September 24.
Ready to Go Blue?
