Bystander Intervention Training

so, the US just attacked Iran, and that is fucking terrible. Something we all need to think about right now is how we can stop the harassment and violence against Muslims and Arabs in the US that got so much worse in the early 2000s from happening again to people now.

To that end, I wanted to share some resources on Bystander Intervention. One of the biggest things I learned from training like this is that there are many ways to intervene, and they don't all involve putting yourself in front of the person who may harm you or others. It's ok if you feel intimidated by that because there are more ways to help! And once you do the training, it might not be so scary.

Right to Be has Bystander trainings based on the 5Ds of Bystander Intervention (Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct). The trainings are free!! sign up here.

I took one of their trainings a few years ago (when the org was called Hollaback!) and it was really very good, they have trainings at multiple levels and focused on various topics. They also partner with other orgs to focus on specific issues (like anti-AAPI harassment and with CAIR Chicago for anti-Muslim harassment, etc.).

Here are a few more resources:

You know something? Maybe once a week, I wake up paralyzed… reliving that night. But before the sun went down, I think that was the best day of my life. Was it like that for you? No doubt about it.

On the one hand... kudos to Michaels for pouncing on a lucrative marketing opportunity upon the death of one of their primary rivals.

On the other hand, it is SO SURREAL to see this banner atop the Michaels website. Honestly, it looks like some sort of cursed Tumblr joke about how fans really will ship everything, or what AO3 would look like if the primary users were cosplayers, or something. How is this an official promotional image, and not some bonkers sh*tpost?

this happened to a 19 year old US citizen studying in Bulgaria. do yourself a favor and do not leave the country right now under any circumstances. and another reminder: do not under any circumstances give your electronic devices up to anyone who asks or allow your things to be searched without a signed warrant from a judge. you have a right to refuse any search and seizure that is unwarranted. you still have rights. do not comply in advance. they will use it to prosecute you for whatever they can.
