Actress Lili Reinhart Helps Raise Awareness to the Silence Associated with Bullying!

SPRINGFIELD — Unify Against Bullying announced that actress Lili Reinhart has accepted the #unifyselfiechallenge!

The challenge helps to raise awareness to the silence associated with bullying. To do the challenge, just write UNIFY on the back of your hand, place it over your mouth and take a selfie. The hand across the mouth represents the silence associated with bullying and UNIFY written on your hand, says that we are all coming together to do something about it! Then post it on social media and challenge at least three friends or celebrities to UNIFY with you.

Reinhart challenged, Taylor Foster, Austyn Vovos, Nik Whittemore and Tiera Skovbye to do the #unifyselfiechallenge.

Unify leaders are excited that Reinhart accepted the selfie challenge because it sends the message to our youth that bullying is not cool. They will listen to her, and other celebrities differently than if it came from their parents or friends. “Within hours of Lili’s post, our website crashed! The good news is, thanks to Tiger Web Designs, we had it back up in 15 minutes” said Ed Zemba, Founder and President of Unify Against Bullying.

Reinhart is a well-known actress who is best known for portraying Betty Cooper on The CW drama series Riverdale. Reinhart guest starred on the television series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and starred in the films The Good Neighbor, Miss Stevens, Forever’s End, Gibsonburg, The Kings of Summer, Not Waving But Drowning, and Lilith.
