Act Like You Matter

From Amy Jones Anichini, CEO, Act Like You Matter:  "I created Act Like You Matter for you, me, and the next generation of adults: to empower them to find their voice and impact their world in a positive way. Each of us has the capacity to show kindness to others, to empathize with them, and to validate them as worthwhile, but many of us could use some reminders about how to do those things and why they’re so important. Because bullying is a cycle, it’s easy to play the role we’re handed: the target who feels defeated; the bystander who turns away or is afraid to intervene; the follower who watches their friends bully others and either joins in or does nothing; the aggressor who starts the bullying. Nevertheless, no matter what role we play in the cycle of bullying, each of us can choose to behave in a different way that will curb – and maybe one day eradicate – bullying."
