Thursday, July 28, 2022
5:00 - 6:00 pm Zoom training
6:45 - 8:30 pm Chinatown meetup, location TBD
In this one-hour, interactive online training, participants will:
- learn about the types of disrespect and dangers that Asian and Asian American folks are facing right now and throughout history — from microaggressions to violence.
- understand what to look for in scenarios and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities.
- talk through five strategies (5Ds) for intervention and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening.
- practice using the 5Ds so that participants are confident intervening the next time they witness Anti-Asian harassment.
Join us after the training for a meetup in the new Chinatown plaza (around 6:45pm) for conversation and connecting! Restaurant details will be shared after RSVPs.
