Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson, the creators of a grass roots anti-bullying movement the Kind Campaign

, are collaborating with Mattel on Monster High. The partnership has significantly expanded the impact of the Kind Campaign, which would reach thousands of girls on its national tour. “People think we have such a large staff, but it’s been a struggle,” Parsekian told the New York Times. “Reaching a million girls can take a lifetime.”

The duo have appeared in a recent episode of Monster High, in which monster versions themselves teach the students about respecting one another through a recreation of an actual Kind Campaign assembly.
