UPSTANDER PROJECT INC

An upstander is a person who takes action in defense of those who are targeted for systemic or individual harm or injustice. An upstander is the opposite of a bystander. Upstanders confront injustice in many ways, some more public than others. Activists can be upstanders, so is a child who protects someone next to her at lunch from being bullied. Policy makers who ensure new laws are equitable are upstanders. Educators who ensure every child feels welcome in their schools are upstanders.

You can be an upstander. We all can be upstanders.
