Upstanders centers on 10 original short films about ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things to create positive civic and social impact. The campaign includes live events, podcasts, articles – and many opportunities for citizens to engage. Its core idea is that each of us has the power to stop being bystanders and to participate in creating the change we want to see.

We created accessible discussion guides to accompany each story. These guides are designed to help educators and citizen changemakers alike use the Upstanders stories as a spark for deeper learning about the issues and strategies to address them.
