Being an upstander doesn’t mean jumping into conflict.
It means using your voice in a safe, simple way.

Here are phrases students can actually use:
• “Hey, that’s not okay.”
• “Come on, let’s go.” (Redirect)
• “Leave them alone.”
• “That’s not funny.”
• “Are you okay? Want to talk?”

Small words. Big impact.
Upstanders change school culture; one moment at a time.
