Events for the Week of: 17-23 May 2021, from Social Justice and Human Rights category

The recent surge in hate incidents targeting Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders have shocked and appalled us, and we are troubled by the deep biases that are at the root of these hateful actions. These biases also show up in everyday conversation with people at work, school, and our communities in the form of micro-aggressions. What can each of us, who consider ourselves allies to our AAPI friends and community members, do in the moment when we hear comments and witness behaviors that can escalate to the point of an individual feeling harassed or disrespected? How can we go from being a bystander to an upstander within our own spheres of influence so that inappropriate or cruel questions, jokes, and comments don’t go unchecked? Join us in an interactive, skill-building workshop to practice the skills we can all use in our daily lives to be upstanders in solidarity with our AAPI neighbors and friends.

This workshop by the by National Conflict Resolution Center is supported by the County of San Diego HHSA.
