Friend Movement, in collaboration with Tyler Clementi Foundation, The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN), and GLAAD have partnered to shift the conversation in our communities from anti-bullying to "pro-friendship".
On October 5th, 2013 the co-founders of Friend Movement, Elliot London and Ronnie Kroell, embarked upon a 921 mile and 37 day journey across the country. It started in Chicago and will commence in NYC on November 10th, 2013. A journey to celebrate friendship that was inspired by and dedicated to, Tyler Clementi.
For those of you who may not know, Tyler was a student of Rutgers University in New Jersey. Unfortunately, after experiencing a terrible cyber-bullying attack, he took his life (now, three years ago) by jumping from The George Washington Bridge. Instead of viewing this anniversary as a sad occasion, we want to celebrate his life and the lives of numerous others we have lost as a result of bullying.
Join us THIS SUNDAY in Painting George Washington Bridge Purple! Together we will cross the bridge at 12 NOON (gathering at 10AM) as a message of overcoming bullying and celebrating friendship.
We are excited to announce that Jane and James Clementi will lend their support by walking the final mile.
Dedicate a purple ribbon today!
