<p class="MsoNormal">Hate, harassment, and violence against immigrants is on the rise—but everyday people have the power to create safer, more inclusive communities. Right To Be’s Bystander Intervention to Support Immigrant Communities Training equips participants
with the tools to safely and effectively intervene when they witness anti-immigrant hate, harassment, or discrimination.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using Right To Be’s 5Ds of Bystander Intervention methodology—Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct—this interactive training empowers participants to take action while prioritizing safety. Whether it’s witnessing xenophobic comments,
workplace discrimination, ICE encounters, or public harassment, this training provides practical, real-world strategies to support immigrants facing harm.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Through real-life scenarios, interactive exercises, and group discussions, participants will:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Recognize the spectrum of anti-immigrant hate and harassment and its impact on communities.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Learn and practice the 5Ds of bystander intervention in different situations.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Understand how to legally and safely respond to ICE encounters without putting themselves or others at risk.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Gain confidence to stand up against discrimination in their workplaces, schools, and public spaces.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Leave with tools, resources, and next steps to continue supporting immigrant rights.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><o:p> </o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">This training is encouraged for allies, but everyone is welcome. If you are undocumented or at risk of being targeted by ICE, we recommend also attending a Know Your Rights training and engaging in safety planning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Together, we can create a culture of safety, solidarity, and dignity for immigrant communities. Join us to become an active bystander and help build a more just world.<o:p></o:p></p>
