Sunfull Comment Campaign
Sunfull is working with schools, businesses, and organizations
to promote the posting of helpful and supportive comments.
The action of posting positive messages not only provides the
experience of doing good for another person, but it also greatly
reduces the potential to harass others in the future.
In addition to writing positive and meaningful comments to
counter bullying and hate speech, we have also created special
comment pages to send messages of condolences and
encouragement to people who have, or are, suffering from tragic
events around the world.
