Choosing to ParticipateIn History

UpstanderAn “upstander” is someone who recognizes when

something is wrong and acts to make it right. When an upstander sees or hears about someone being bullied, they speak up. Being an upstander is being a hero: we are standing up for what is right and doing our best to help support and protect someone who is being hurt.
