Enlisting A and D-List celebrities, as well as “common folk” from all walks of life, the crusade is well on its way to reaching its goal of photographing one million supporters. Also called the “Silent Campaign,” it features people dressed in white with NO H8 “tattooed” to their silver duct-taped faces.
