Generations Against Bullying and the Guardians Of the Children are united in very similar ways.\u00a0 We are fighting for the safety of our children who are dealing with forms of physical and mental abuse and the resulting emotional scars.<\/p>\n The live auction was so much fun, and everyone was family.\u00a0 People came from all walks of life and from all over the country.\u00a0 Some met for the first time, but the special bond is something that words simply cannot describe.<\/p>\n Since the Covid-19 virus, we have been concentrating on updating our Upstander Curriculum for schools and the Scouts.\u00a0 For all of us, it has been a very rough time in many ways.\u00a0 Especially on the children and parents, the child abuse, bullying, domestic violence have escalated to an all-time high and is a very serious concern.\u00a0 I know I have felt the depression and sadness with all the devastation, destruction, sickness, and the loss of jobs that is happening in our country today.<\/p>\n After the presentation we had the opportunity to meet many of the Guardians. What a phenomenal experience!\u00a0 They are the most compassionate, loving, sincere, welcoming, and courageous people I have had the honor to meet.\u00a0 Bullying has been one of the toughest issues to deal with because there are so many pre-conceived notions and schools have a difficult time addressing the problem. Spending time with the Guardians was the most encouraging and enlightening experiences.\u00a0 Having this experience with individuals who dedicate their life and mission to a cause that helps save the lives of children and help them get through the emotional issues and scars that last a lifetime, is extraordinary.\u00a0 Our organizations have a wonderful bond after this meeting and connection.\u00a0 I am so grateful to the Guardians for renewing my passion, commitment, and determination to never give up the fight. Regardless of the obstacles we have overcome.<\/p>\n I am speaking for myself, and as the Director of Generations Against Bullying. Guardians you brought my hope, confidence, faith, passion, and inspiration back to life!<\/p>\n Thank you!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2346.jpg” title_text=”IMG_2346″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2362-rotated.jpg” title_text=”IMG_2362″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2365.jpg” title_text=”IMG_2365″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2372.jpg” title_text=”IMG_2372″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2354.jpg” title_text=”IMG_2354″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2367.jpg” title_text=”IMG_2367″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2370.jpg” title_text=”IMG_2370″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2376.jpg” title_text=”IMG_2376″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Linda Lee gave a presentation for the Guardians Of the Children Rally at the Sheraton Hotel in Brookfield, WI…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":40768,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-previous-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}EVENT PHOTOS<\/strong><\/h4>\n
