Einstein Needs More Heroes! WE PLEDGE… I will not be a bystander. I will not look away and pretend it’s not happening. I will speak up when I see someone being bullied. I will encourage others to speak up too. We will make the bully the outsider and invite them to change. If it is something I cannot handle on my own, I will tell someone.
