Hollaback! has changed its name to Right To Be.
We believe a world that respects our right to be isn’t some far-off destination. It’s something we’re building every day. This is your call to power, to build a world free of harassment. How do you want to get started?
What We Do
What We Do
We turn the care we have for each other into simple, creative, and effective action.
Every day, we train hundreds of people to respond to, intervene in, and heal from harassment. We hold space for people experiencing harassment to share their stories for affirmation and support. And we prepare new leaders to create workplaces, schools, and communities around the world that are filled with humanity.
Experiencing harassment or want to support those who are?
Check out our book, written by the Right To Be team, for you.
Order a copy of our first book, I’ve Got Your Back: The Indispensable Guide to Stopping Harassment When You See It by Emily May and Jorge Arteaga. I’ve Got Your Back will take you through the 5Ds of bystander intervention: Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct, with each chapter diving deeply into how to put these 5Ds in action — whether you witness harassment in public, online, or at work.
I’ve Got Your Back is an invaluable resource in creating a new vision for our communities — one where we stand up for our neighbors, and our neighbors stand up for us.
Our Training Program
Private Training Experience
We’re a nonprofit working to end harassment — in all its forms. We believe that everyone deserves the resources to respond to, prevent, and intervene in instances of harassment.
We provide three training experiences: free training for the public, private customized training, and private non-customized experiences. To work with Right To Be via our specialized company-wide training opportunities, Corporate Accomplices Program or Corporate Sponsorships Program, contact us at partnerships@righttobe.org or click here.
