This one-hour, interactive training will teach you Right To Be’s 5D’s of bystander intervention methodology. We’ll start by 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.” 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 your 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.

In response to the rise in Anti-Asian/American and Xenophobic Harassment, Right To Be partnered with Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC to adapt our free training adapted to support the Asian/American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. 

The Asian Americans Advancing Justice affiliation has been documenting stories of anti-Asian hate crimes and hate incidents since 2017 at www.StandAgainstHatred.org, which is available in English, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. 

To address the rising number of anti-Asian hate crimes and offer training to communities nationwide, we are now also partnered with Asian Americans Advancing Justice| Asian Law Caucus, Asian Americans Advancing Justice Los Angeles, and Asian Americans Advancing Justice Chicago.
