Why Unity Day?

Unity Day, started by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center as the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month continues to grow every year as a tangible representation of the universal message that our society wants to promote kindness, acceptance and inclusion to prevent bullying.

Plan to support the event by participating in the simple call to action—wear and share the color orange.

Watch this video for more information about Unity Day.

#UnityEveryDay

This year's International ShakeOut Day is October 17, when millions of people worldwide will participate in earthquake drills at work, school, or home!

At 10:17 am (local time) on 10/17, you can join millions of people across California practicing earthquake safety.

Here is a video that you can share with younger students to explain the safety measures for an earthquake and prepare them for the drill on October 17.
