Hate, harassment, and violence against immigrants is on the rise—but we, as everyday people have the power to create safer, more inclusive communities with our immigrant neighbors.
Learn how together, we can create a culture of safety, solidarity, and dignity for our immigrant communities.
This bystander training, presented by ACLU of Massachusetts, may include areas such as:
Recognizing and evaluating situations: Learning to identify potential harm and understand the context.
Safety and de-escalation: Focusing on non-violent intervention methods to avoid escalating a situation into a physical crisis.
Know Your Rights: Understanding your own rights and how to support the rights of others in tense situations.
Intervention strategies: Using proven, safe techniques to take action when necessary.
Post-incident support: Knowing how to follow up and support the person who was targeted.
This a local Indivisible event!
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
