To combat the current rise in harassment and discrimination and to also proactively prepare for the future increase of hate incidents, Advancing Justice Chicago is partnering with New York-based nonprofit Hollaback! and CAIR-Chicago to plan and implement an aggressive scaling up of locally-led bystander hate incident intervention trainings for community members. For more information, click here. The one-hour, interactive training will teach you Hollaback!'s 5 D's of bystander intervention methodology.
Bystander Training will include: talking about the types of disrespect that Asian and Asian American folks are facing right now -- from microaggressions to violence -- using a tool we call the "spectrum of disrespect."
-Learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities.
-Five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening.
-You'll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see Anti-Asian and Asian American harassment online or in-person.
