Hosted By Right To Be: Bystander Intervention to Stop Antisemitic, Xenophobic, and Islamophobic Harassment

A Critical Conversations Event

This interactive training covers the 5Ds of bystander intervention as part of Right To Be’s methodology. We will discuss the various forms of disrespect faced by Jewish and Muslim individuals in the U.S. and those perceived to belong to these groups, ranging from microaggressions to harassment in public spaces and online. Facilitated by trainers from both faith communities, this session will provide practical insights. You will learn five intervention strategies: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct, with a focus on prioritizing your safety. There will be time for practice so that you leave feeling more confident in addressing antisemitic or Islamophobic harassment.

This event is part of Critical Conversations: creating space for and educating one another about our multiple cultural contexts, activism, civil discourse, and academic engagement.
