About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

The New Jersey legislature has passed the "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights," which would provide the strongest anti-bullying protections in the country. The LGBT-inclusive bill includes statewide standards, training, and monitoring, but avoids unfunded mandates by the use of existing resources. It also has strong bipartisan support: the Senate voted 30 to 0 and the Assembly 72 to 1 to approve the legislation.

The bill has been in progress for a long time, but the recent suicide of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi, the subject of anti-gay bullying, has made the need even more urgent. Ask Gov. Chris Christie to sign the bill to better protect all New Jersey students and honor Clementi's legacy.

Sign the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights

Greetings,

The New Jersey legislature has passed the "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights," which would provide the strongest anti-bullying protections in the country. The bill includes statewide standards, training, and monitoring, but avoids unfunded mandates by the use of existing resources.

The legislation has strong bipartisan support: the Senate voted 30 to 0 and the Assembly 72 to 1 to approve it.

The bill has been in progress for a long time, but the recent suicide of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi, the subject of anti-gay bullying, has made the need even more pressing. I urge you sign the bill to better protect all New Jersey students and honor Clementi's legacy.
