The threat of hate crimes and incidents of harassment have surged to an all-time high within our communities and has grown exponentially dangerous since the start of the pandemic. A 2021 study conducted by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism documented a 173% increase in hate incidents targeting the AAPI community in Los Angeles, as well as a staggering 567% increase within San Francisco. Equipping our community members with the tools and knowledge necessary to safely de-escalate incidents of hate and bias is an undeniable necessity. Join us for an interactive Bystander Intervention Training to learn how to safely intervene in the event that you witness a hate crime or bias incident as such. In this training participants will learn hands-on skills on how to de-escalate a hate incident before it leads to violence, how to create a safe space, and how to support the person who is being targeted.
