The Stand-up Campaign, a new initiative based in Belmont, will hold a listening and information sharing meeting, “Kindness, Decency and Civil Discourse” on Tuesday, March 29th at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church, located at 404 Concord Ave., Belmont.
This will be the first in a series of events to explore strategies to promote kindness, decency, civil discourse and civic engagement in schools, sports and the larger community. Adults, teens, educators and school officials, town administrators and elected officials, coaches and sports administrators, public health and safety officers from Belmont and surrounding communities are encouraged to attend and to share their concerns, experiences and best practices, as well as suggestions for future programming.
The Stand-up Campaign was formed to address the uptick in targeted
taunting and bullying in area schools and sporting events in recent months and to promote civil discourse between individuals and parties with opposing views.
The Stand-up Campaign has partnered with Belmont Against Racism and the Unitarian Universalist Social Action Committee for this event. It will be held on Tuesday, March 29th at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 404 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA. For more information, please contact Donna Ruvolo at 617-489-5446.
