"When students see their teachers or anyone wearing the blue wristband, it will serve as a signal to students that they are not alone, that school is a safe haven, and that they can turn to and depend on their educators to deal with bullying or harassment..." - American Federation of Teachers

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) announced the launch of a multifaceted campaign to provide resources to help communities and individuals respond to bullying or harassment.

In addition to distributing blue wristbands with the message, “See a Bully, Stop a Bully,” (pictured at left), the campaign will include a series of webinars and regional conferences on bullying in the upcoming months.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a conference on bullying and have given the issue a top priority, emphasizing that everyone must be involved in resolving the problem.
