Meeting with Commission on Human Rights

This morning I sat down with the NYC Commission on Human Rights to talk about what they are doing to tackle bullying in the big apple.

The NYC Human Rights law is among the most comprehensive in the country and in addition to protecting against discrimination in employment and city services, now includes protection against bias-related harassment online. Yes, that means cyber bullying. The organization is quickly educating its staff on the issue of cyber bullying and has begun a 6 workshop series that they offer to schools free of charge.

We discussed several possible projects. But you know me, no spoilers! I'm excited to work with them and will keep you posted on our continued efforts to make bullying a focal point in their work over the coming year.
