We Are Not Silent - Bystander Intervention

We Are Not Silent: Bystander Intervention

A call to Action to Stop Hate and Bias against Asian Communities

Hate crimes and discrimination against Asian communities are on the rise across the US and the world. In this 60-minute webinar, we'll learn how you can intervene effectively as a bystander. This presentation will discuss the disrespect that Asian communities face right now from microaggressions to violence. This interactive presentation will walk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your safety while intervening.
