On Thursday, November 29, 2012 nearly 5,000 middle and high school students and teachers from across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island came together at The Tsongas Center in Lowell for a one-day program to take a stand against all forms of bullying. Stand Up 2012 was the largest anti-bullying rally ever conducted in the United States.

 

Stand Up was created to educate, motivate and empower young people to actively promote social change in their schools and communities. The  Stand Up program was developed by a community coalition of over 50 organizations who worked in partnership with renowned bullying prevention Authorities to ensure the most effective messaging and call to action for students and their educators. Stand Up utilized a combination of educational information, entertainment and special recognition to motivate students to stand up to bullying in their schools and communities.
