Rise Against lead singer Tim McIlrath wrote "Make It Stop (September's Children)" in response to bullying, a topic he says really hasn't been adequately addressed in the rock scene. Rise Against teamed up with the It Gets Better Project to create a video for the song that will open people's eyes to the bullying of LGBT youth. Everyone going back to school in September should watch this video!
The "Make It Stop (September's Children)" video is nominated in MTV's first ever pro-social category for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards: "Best Video With A Message." Other nominees in this category include Lady Gaga, P!nk, Katy Perry, Eminem featuring Rihanna and Taylor Swift.
