About The BULLY Project

The BULLY Project is the social action campaign inspired by the award-winning film BULLY. We’ve sparked a national movement to stop bullying that is transforming kids’ lives and changing a culture of bullying into one of empathy and action.  The power of our work lies in the participation of individuals like you and the remarkable list of partners we’ve gathered who collectively work to create safe, caring, and respectful schools and communities. Our goal is to reach 1 million kids or more, causing a tipping point that ends bullying in America.

Our 1 Million Kids initiative has brought the film BULLY to young people and educators around the country along with a curriculum and training from our partner, Facing History and Ourselves. These resources were created to help prepare educators to lead a discussion with their students that focuses on developing empathy and taking action. To date, the campaign has facilitated  screenings for over 250,000 students and 7,500 educators across 120+ cities. Now that the film is available on DVD, we’ve created an Educators DVD Activation Toolkit. The kit includes many materials designed to ignite honest, meaningful dialogue.  Partners who contributed to the kit include Harvard Graduate School of Education, Not In Our School, Love is Louder, the National Center for Learning Disabilities and Facing History and Ourselves. Roll up your sleeves and join the movement!  Everything starts with one and builds up.
