Artists Against Bullying

Artists Against Bullying (often styled as "Artists Against") is an agglomeration of seven Canadian musicians who united in 2012 to re-record the song "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper.

Released during Bullying Awareness Week,[1] the project was inspired by the increase in teen bullying and cyberbullying, especially the Amanda Todd case,[2] with proceeds being donated to Kids Help Phone - a Canadian counseling service for children and youth.[2]
