My attention was drawn to the events at a high school recently; it's in Canada, but I think it's still relevant to us. A ninth grader came to school in a pink polo shirt on the first day, and was bullied because of it. That's probably not so unusual, but what happened next was. Some 12th graders decided to do something about it;
Bullied student tickled pink by schoolmates' T-shirt campaign

This is a perfect response. I'd like to publicize it as a constructive reposte to that kind of intimidation; it reminds me of one story where a kid was teased after loosing his hair to chemo, and half the school responded by shaving their heads.
Maybe the best way to deal with bullies is to teach this kind of grass-roots activism to students; though in this case it appears that they came across the idea well enough on their own.

It's like the ending to a movie, isn't it. The underdog gets a surprise show of support from the majority of his peers and the bullies slink away in shame.

Well, maybe it wasn't EXACTLY like that, but it's a nice story nevertheless.
