You’ll then learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities.

We’ll talk through 5 strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening. At the end of our practice scenarios, and you’ll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see Anti-Asian/AAPI harassment.
