Characters Unite Month is USA Network’s month long initiative aiming to combat hate and intolerance. On Friday, February 10^th at 7pm ET/PT, USA brings you the premiere of NFL CHARACTERS UNITE.

In the documentary, NFL stars share their personal journeys through bigotry, abuse and racism – and each helps to transform the life of a teen currently dealing with a similar situation. The players impart strength and advice to assist the teens in getting past the hate, violence and devastating cycle of low expectations, and achieving their full potential.

Through candid interviews and unique one-on-one activities, these on- and off-the-field heroes help bring diverse people together, change attitudes and instill courage and compassion.

Here’s a promo video for the show:

You too can participate by uploading and sharing your own “I Won’t Stand For..” stories to the world, and via Twitter, using the #IWontStandFor hashtag.
