We Are Not Silent: Bystander Intervention

A call to Action to Stop Hate and Bias against Asian Communities

Hate crimes and discrimination against Asian communities are on the rise across the US and the world. In this 60-minute webinar, we'll learn how you can intervene effectively as a bystander. This presentation will discuss the disrespect that Asian communities face right now from microaggressions to violence. This interactive presentation will walk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your safety while intervening.

Gathering in Solidarity for Asian Communities

This special gathering is a brave space for us to tell our stories, celebrate diversity, and bring our whole selves to work.

The gathering also offers an opportunity to listen deeply to one another as we share how we may be feeling when it comes to race and equity experiences. We can explore what's visible and invisible about our identities, build allyship, and share resources.
