This is Kate Mabe speaking at the Prevent School Violence NC Press Conference about her experiences with being bullied as a queer kid in middle school and high school.

You can also hear her mom’s story on The Bullying Blog: A collection of stories from North Carolinians.

They’re looking for people to contribute their stories about bullying. You can write or submit a video. If you want to do a video but don’t have the means, get in touch! We can help you film your story!

Please personalize a letter to your legislators today asking them to support safe schools for all of North Carolina’s children!
