A bystander is a person who, although present at some event, does not take part in it; an observer or spectator.
Bystander Revolution is an anti-bullying organization founded by author and parent MacKenzie Bezos. Its website launched on April 23, 2014.
Bystander Revolution differs from many other anti-bullying organizations in that it offers solutions for bystanders and bullies, in addition to the targets of bullying. Hundreds of unscripted videos featuring students, celebrities, and leaders sharing their advice and personal bullying experiences are included on its website. The power of small actions grounded in empathy is a theme throughout the videos.
One of the means by which Bystander Revolution works to effect change is through Internet Activism, a modern trend among advocacy groups of leveraging social media for good. In addition to sharing anti-bullying advice, inspirational quotes, and relevant news stories on its social media platforms, Bystander Revolution has launched such social media initiatives as the #1Act Challenge, #BraverMe campaign, and the New Friend Challenge.
