Ghostwriting Project II: Electric Boogaloo

Jul 09, 2012 14:14

So, I hate to ask this because I feel like I'm asking people to do my homework for me. But I've been trying for days and I haven't found anything so...

Does anyone know any anti-bullying resources out there for people of color? For people with disabilities? For example, LGBTQ folks have It Gets Better, GLSEN, and the Trevor Project (and Lambda Legal to assist if you're the victim of workplace bullying). As far as I can tell there are no equivalent organizations for POC or PWD. Am I missing something huge, or even something not so huge? It really saddens me to think that I am, especially as POC and PWD are overwhelmingly targeted for bullying in education and the workplace.

Anyway, I'm asking because I'm finishing up a book for a client about bullying and I'm trying to put together a kick ass resource page. And so far the resource page is pretty white and abled.

Also, I'm still looking for a few people to interview for the book. If you'd like to share your experiences with bullying and what you did about it, shoot me a line at jo.vanderhooft @ gmail.com. I'd love to talk with you! And you can remain anonymous/pseudonymous. So far, I really don't have many men in the book and no genderqueer folks at all, and I wish I could change that.
