TLC is partnering with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center to take an active role in the bullying prevention movement.

The network on Oct. 22 will turn its red logo orange in honor of Unity Day, which promotes positivity, inclusiveness and kindness, said network officials.

In addition, celebrity talent from TLC’s programming will create videos speaking out against bullying that will be featured on TLC.com and TLC’s social media platforms. As part of the partnership, TLC will direct viewers to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center for resources and ways to get involved in the movement, said network officials.
