‍#WeRideTogether is a nonprofit dedicated to eliminating abuse in all sports, at every level, around the world. With over 121M views, #WeRideTogether’s entry Out of Bounds consists of four short-form PSAs, each of which explores different facets of the victim experience, inside and outside the world of sports, and provides insight, language, and metaphor into “what it’s like” to be a victim of sexual abuse or misconduct. By filling gaps in the sexual abuse, athletic, and healing spaces, #WeRideTogether created a project envisioning new possibilities for creative storytelling, making Out of Bounds a strong contender for the Webby Awards.

“Nominees like #WeRideTogether are raising the bar for creativity and innovation on the Internet,” said Nick Borenstein, General Manager of The Webby Awards. “At the 30th Annual Webby Awards, this recognition feels especially meaningful. It’s no small feat to stand out among nearly 13,000 entries, and this year’s work reflects the energy, originality, and ambition shaping the Internet right now.”
