Welcome to the Movement!
-a special day where good people across the world join together to say bullying sucks by pledging their support to victims.
The Basics:
 |
International STAND UP to Bullying Day is a special event in which people across the world who have signed a special “pledge shirt” join together in wearing them to:
|
 |
The stand is taken globally; with pledge shirts and services being made available to schools and workplaces in 25 different countries. All registration takes place online. |
 |
Each participant must pledge themselves and their community members by signing their name to the back of a special pledge shirt. Participants are then notified before each STAND to make sure they wear it throughout the day during each event. Shirts can be ordered at any time and are the same for each event. |
 |
The next International STAND UP to Bullying Day is scheduled to take place Friday, May 31, 2013 |
 |
To date, more than 3100 schools, workplaces and organizations representing more than a million people have taken the STAND. Although the movement has been primarily North American based, it's quickly spreading across the globe and is expected to continue gaining momentum. (See all registered participants here) |

Shipping Delay:
We're on the road, and our shipping guys are taking a much needed holiday this week. Now that we've been holding monthly stands (on the last Friday of each month), we have been accepting new registrations from participants year round, and are constantly sending out new shirts for them to sign. Everyone's been really busy, so we gave them the Ok for a quick holiday. They're going to be away from Wednesday, March 13th, until Wednesday, March 20th. Any orders that are submitted after 9pm AST on March Tuesday, March 12th will not be sent out until the morning of the 21th. We've added a notice about this on the ordering page as well.
Size Changes:
We recently switched suppliers for our pink pledge shirts, and find that the new shirts fit a little smaller now than they did in the past. Granted, we noticed this right after the holidays were over, so we went ahead and measured them to make sure it wasn't a result of too much turkey and chocolate, but sure enough, they do fit a little more snug. We suggest that anyone ordering a new pledge shirt to join in participating, order one size larger than they normally do.
Why Pink?
The color of the STAND UP pledge shirts, is based on a campaign started by Travis Price and David Shepherd, two senior students who took a stand against a freshmen student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. This act of leadership provides a great example for those who are "on the fence" about displaying their own personal stance against bullying.
