let's take a stand against bullying
This October, We're Passing It On
Everybody remembers a moment when someone made them feel like they didn’t belong. Maybe it was a comment in the hallway, a group chat where you’re the topic of interest, or something that felt small in the moment but has somehow stuck with you for years. No matter how big or small it might seem, bullying has the potential to cause real harm. It’s up to all of us to banish bullying and create a culture of care.
October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and eos is teaming up with Act To Change, the only national nonprofit dedicated to ending bullying for the AAPI community, to do something about it. We’re throwing our support (and our TYB coins) behind their Homeroom Collective, a youth-led club model that helps students turn their own campuses into places where everyone feels like they belong.
Why We Love Act To Change's Homeroom Collective
Picture a club that's part safe space, part mentoring program, and 100% anti-bullying. That's Homeroom Collective: a no-cost, student-led program where kids get funding, an easy-to-use curriculum, and mentorship to run their own anti-bullying initiatives focused on three simple yet critical ideas: belonging, empowerment, and action. Basically, instead of just telling students bullying is bad (thanks, we know), it hands them the tools and the mic to change their own school culture from the inside.
Homeroom Collective was created to address persistent bullying and chronic underreporting among AAPI youth, with the main goal to rebuild trust across peer, adult, and school systems. The big idea: create school cultures where all students feel safe to speak up, seek support, and lead change. That's the kind of mission we should all be amped to get behind, so this month, we're putting our communities to work.
Here are two ways you can show up now – they’re both simple and free.
The "Pass It On" TYB Challenge
The healing powers of a supportive, heartfelt message can’t be underestimated. For the Pass It On Challenge, we're asking our besties to join our TYB community and share the one thing they think every kid being bullied deserves to hear. Post it, mean it, and earn TYB coins just for putting a little more kindness into the world. It might be exactly what someone being bullied needs to hear. How it works:
-
Share your message in the TYB community. Something like: “you belong here!” or “I’m so grateful you exist.” (Speak from the heart!)
-
Earn TYB coins automatically for participating, and save on your next eos haul!
Take the Act To Change Pledge
Words matter, but a commitment matters more. Head over to ActToChange.org and take their anti-bullying pledge. It’s a quick, real declaration that you're standing against bullying and standing up for belonging. It takes about thirty seconds, and it directly supports the mission behind Homeroom Collective.
Take the pledge now to earn TYB coins for adding your name to the movement.
Why It Matters So Much
Nine out of ten AAPI youth reported experiencing race-based bullying in the past year alone. If this number moves you as much as it moves us, supporting the Homeroom Collective is a no-brainer. We’re showing up with Act To Change to help young people become part of the change that makes their schools kinder, but we’re louder and more powerful with you on our team.
Let’s work together to give students the resources and the platform they need to create safer, more inclusive school environments themselves and be part of the change that impacts them so directly. Every message shared and every pledge signed helps us bring down bullying, and that’s a cause that just can’t wait.
Join the Pass it On Challenge on TYB, sign the Act To Change pledge, and let's make this National Bullying Prevention Month count.
