Professional wrestler/actor (aren’t they one and the same?) John Cena recorded a video for the Love Has No Labels “We are America” campaign. The video was created by the Ad Council in an effort to challenge people to "rethink your bias". The surprisingly touching video is taking off on social media, for very good reason. It’s a must watch.

To love America is to love all Americans. John Cena takes a break between dropping body slams to drop some truth – that patriotism is more than pride of country, it’s love beyond labels.
While the vast majority of Americans consider themselves unprejudiced, many of us unintentionally make snap judgments about people based on what we see - whether it’s race, age, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability. The Love Has No Labels campaign challenges us to open our eyes to our implicit, or unconscious, bias and work to stop it in ourselves, our families, our friends, and our colleagues.
