Teens and Parents to Rally Against Bullying at City Park

Hundreds of teens and parents will rally at on Thursday evening in an effort to end the bullying epidemic across southeast Michigan. The march is part of the national 'Million T-Shirt March' which strives to raise awareness about bullying.

The event, hosted by the Easter Seals Michigan Teen Advisory Council and a Parents Advisory Council, will take place from 5-7 p.m.

"The goal of the effort at national and local levels is to raise awareness to help fight against bullying, verbal bullying and cyber bullying," a press release for the rally read. "The epidemic not only affects children and teens in schools, but can affect adults in the workplace, at home or in other social settings."

The press release says 300 T-shirts have been sold for the event and proceeds will fund the event and future anti-bullying programs hosted by Easter Seals.

The public is welcome to attend the rally.
