Bullying is all too prevalent, not just in our schools and communities but online as well. This unfortunate trend causes many to feel unsafe voicing their opinions and revealing their true identities. This panel will bring together organizations and activists to discuss the need to recognize and combat bullying in our schools, online and in our communities. How can the Netroots help raise awareness of bullying--and in turn push back against the right-wing framing that demonizes issues like LGBT rights and immigration.
