CREATING SAFE PUBLIC SPACES FOR EACH OTHER THROUGH BYSTANDER INTERVENTION TRAINING (FREE)

 

Bystander Intervention Training

Saturday, October 25th

3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The New York City Human Rights Commission will provide bystander intervention training at the East Fourth Street Community Garden on Saturday, October 25th, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

 

From the Commission:

Bystander intervention is built on the idea that we all play a role in creating safe public spaces for each other when we see our neighbors and community members facing bias, discrimination, or harassment.

 

The NYC Commission on Human Rights and community partners regularly co-host bystander intervention trainings to provide New Yorkers with the tools and strategies to safely respond when they witness bias incidents and discrimination.

 

Participants leave these trainings equipped with verbal and behavioral de-escalation strategies to non-violently intervene to disrupt hate-violence or hate speech.

 

The trainings explore the meaning of safety, of being an effective ally, and how identity plays a role in the ways we choose to intervene.

The training session is free and open to the public.
