Guests in Nashville Can Create Free, Customized T-Shirts, Photos and Videos to Join
USA’s “I Won’t Stand For…” Movement to Promote Greater Tolerance and Acceptance
As part of its award-winning Characters Unite public service campaign, USA Network has launched a national bus tour to help spread the message that everyone, everywhere can help stop hate and all forms of discrimination simply by saying “I won’t stand for…” it anymore. On February 12, the “I Won’t Stand For…” tour will stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., in partnership with Comcast Nashville.
At the event, participants will be able to create a free “I won’t stand for…” t-shirt, personalizing it by stamping a word to fill in the blank, such as bullying, racism, religious intolerance, sexism, homophobia, ableism and more. In addition, consumers can take a photo to be part of the Characters Unite gallery and immediately share the image with their friends and family via social media. Guests can also film an “I won’t stand for…” video to join hundreds of people – including stars of USA’s hit shows, athletes and political leaders — in lending their voices to the Characters Unite movement.
The tour is part of USA Network’s Characters Unite Month. Throughout February, the Network shines a spotlight on the importance of promoting greater tolerance, respect and acceptance through extensive on-air programming, digital content and community events across the country.
The “I Won’t Stand For” tour is also making stops in New Orleans, Denver, Atlanta, Cleveland, Chicago and Dearborn, MI, as part of The Henry Ford Museum’s National Day of Courage in celebration of Rosa Parks’ 100th birthday.
