Want to learn how to be a better bystander?
Join us for Bystander Intervention: Stop Anti-Asian/America and Xenophobic Harassment
4 - 5:15 p.m. via Zoom
This interactive training will teach you Right to Be's 5Ds of bystander intervention methodology. We'll start by talking about the types of disrespect that Asian American folks are facing right now, from microaggressions to violence, using a tool we call the "spectrum of disrespect". You'll learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities. We'll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize you own safety while intervening. We'll have time at the end for practice, and you'll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see Anti-Asian/American harassment online or in person.
