Kids Say, “Thumbs Down to Bullying”
Bullying affects us at all ages and is seen throughout schools daily. We are proud of our edgy “Giving Bullying The Bird” campaign, but it was equally important for us to offer something kid friendly too! “Thumbs Down to Bullying” was created so that everyone can take a stand against bulling and let the world know that, The New F Word is FRIEND.
In addition to the photo campaign, we look forward to partnering with K-12 schools, community centers, and youth clubs around the world by bringing them “Thumbs Down to Bullying.” Together we can empower and change lives, one photo at a time.
If you are interested in bringing either one of our campaigns to your school, business or community, please email us for more information. Thanks Friends!

Our Travels
In setting out on our Midwest tour we didn’t know what to expect. We wanted to share our labor of love, The New F Word with new communities and make new friends. We did it! The outpouring of support and genuine interest of what we are working toward and what we represent was awe-inspiring.
We traveled across Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri. We heard inspiring stories, reconnected with old friends and walked away with new ones. The love and positive energy has added fuel to fire. Just wait until we reveal what we are going to do next. See you all on the road again soon!
