Asian Leaders Alliance Special Bulletin Newsletter #16
Right to Be x Advancing Justice — Asian Law Caucus: Bystander Intervention Training
by Brian Pang on September 12, 2022
Have you ever witnessed harassment but didn’t know how to intervene? Join us on Zoom this
Friday, September 16th to learn proven and effective bystander intervention techniques.
The 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.
Hosted by Dax Valdes from Right to Be, and Paul Ocampo from Advancing Justice — Asian Law Caucus powered by Asian Leaders Alliance.
