About National Love Is Kind Day

National Love Is Kind Day is observed on July 27 and focuses on kindness, healthy relationships and freedom from domestic abuse.

National Day Calendar’s detailed proclamation history says Rosie Aiello and Sunny, co-founders of The Love is Kind Network, founded the observance on July 27, 2018; it records a later National Day Calendar Registrar proclamation in 2019.

Why National Love Is Kind Day matters

The day is intended to support people affected by domestic abuse and to emphasize that love should not be violent, demeaning or controlling.

Because the subject can be personal and serious, the observance is best treated as awareness and support rather than entertainment.

History of National Love Is Kind Day

National Day Calendar’s proclamation page says Rosie Aiello and Sunny founded National Love Is Kind Day on July 27, 2018.

That history says July 27 also represents the date Rosie and Sunny gained freedom after escaping a violent relationship.

The same source says the National Day Calendar Registrar proclaimed the day in 2019 to be observed annually on July 27.

A current National Day Calendar header separately displays a “Founded in 2017” label, which conflicts with the detailed history. The guide preserves the specific 2018/2019 chronology and explicitly notes the header conflict instead of presenting both as compatible facts.
