The movement was started in 2013 by Amy Bleuel, a young woman who lost her father to suicide. Bleuel was inspired to start the project after seeing a semicolon tattoo on the wrist of a friend who had also lost a loved one to suicide. The semicolon tattoo has since become a symbol of hope and solidarity for those who have been affected by suicide.
