Caring Causes: Defeat the Label

Defeat the Label, an international anti-bullying organization, already has more than 2 million students, in all 50 states and across 7 continents who have pledged to participate in this year’s Stand4Change Day on Friday, May 3^rd. 

Stand4Change Day is a worldwide event hosted by Defeat the Label to bring attention to the issue of bullying in our schools. Defeat the Label provides a short lesson plan, student pledge, video and additional resources for educators to share with their students.

Through partnerships with the American Federation of Teachers, National Education Association, Anti-Defamation League, Education International, organizations such as Operation Respect, media networks including MTV, CBS Radio and in conjunction with Funny or Die, Defeat the Label has already doubled participation from last year’s event.  

Defeat the Label is also teaming up with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment to offer a free screening of their latest DVD release, Koala Kid, available in stores April 30^th to a winning school that participates in Stand4Change Day 2013.  Koala Kid takes you down under to meet a whole new breed of hero in this laugh-filled, action-packed animated adventure with an all-star voice cast, including Jenni Pulos, Rob Schneider, Tim Curry and Alan Cumming.  

Every 7 minutes a child in the US is bullied and Defeat the Label is dedicated to promoting an inclusive, judgment-free society by working with schools, parents and kids to promote a bully-free community.
