Lady Gaga
In November, Lady Gaga, the Grammy Award-winning artist, partnered with HLS’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society (and the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the California Endowment) to launch the Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit that will support programs and initiatives aimed at mentoring teenagers and combating bullying. With the goal of “establishing a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment,” the foundation will utilize digital mobilization as one of the means to create positive change.
