As part of the RAAR: Rising Against Anti-Asian Racism program, funded by a Campus Climate Award, the AAPI Faculty & Staff Committee will be hosting a virtual bystander training over on Wednesday, May 10th at 12PM over Zoom. Right to Be will be facilitating the training.

From the Right to Be page: “The one-hour, interactive training will teach you Right To Be’s 5Ds 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.”

The training is open to the City Tech community.

Dax Valdes will be facilitating the training.
