The campaign aims to record one million user-generated videos joining the voices of people young and old, including students, parents, teachers, celebrities and politicians, saying “I speak up.”

In his video, Holder spoke about the “devastating effect” that bullying can have on children. “Help me defend childhood,” Holder asks, “by speaking up for those who — too often — cannot speak for themselves.”

Holder was joined by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, among others, in recording messages for the campaign.
