Our Bullying Prevention Partners
The following organizations have pledged to work in collaboration with AFT and other stakeholders to mount a community response to the community issue of bullying. Additional resources and materials on bullying may be found on their websites.
The "Stop Bullying: Speak Up" campaign encourages the bystander to ‘speak up’ when they see bulling by getting an adult. With support from LG Electronics, Stop Bullying: Speak Up is providing free online bullying-prevention kits to help teachers, parents and communities begin or enhance their anti-bullying work. www.cartoonnetwork.com/promos/stopbullying/index.html
GLSEN
GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, is the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students. GLSEN works with educators, policy makers, community leaders and students on the urgent need to address anti-LGBT behavior and bias in schools.

Not In Our School
Across the country, students and teachers are joining to create schools that are free from bullying and intolerance. They're part of a movement called Not In Our School.
