Star Wars Fans Say NO to Bullying!

The voice of Ahsoka Tano presents Nerdist's video on the first annual Anti-Bullying Summit from SDCC 2013.

Something amazing happened within our Star Wars community in the fall of 2010. A little girl named Katie was bullied for carrying a Star Wars water bottle to school. Her mom Carrie, wrote a blog post about her daughter's experience with being bullied. The Star Wars community immediately rallied around this little fangirl in support and Katie's story went viral. Unanimously, we all banded together to announce to the world that bullying was not OK.

Carrie spent the next two years doing tireless research in a crusade to end bullying. She wrote a book called Bullied and has now started an Anti-Bullying Summit. The first event was at San Diego Comic-Con and I was honored to be part of this groundbreaking event. Check out the video above by Nerdist about this inspiring movement, and join the conversation.
