“We’re here to raise awareness around an important issue. It’s not something we can easily talk about. Because we can’t talk. We’re mascots.”

“So whether it’s someone calling you a chicken, or saying you aren’t that gr-r-reat… If someone says your nose is too big, or that you look like the Monopoly guy… if someone makes fun of you for being an elf… or they aren’t really sure what you are… it’s up to all of us to speak out,” the mascots continue. “Even if you can’t do it literally. Because bullying is no laughing matter.”

“And no matter how you look… where you’re from… or who you love…. we must all stand together. Join us in speaking out against bullying,” the message concludes.
