How to Respond to Harassment for People Experiencing Anti-Asian/American Harassment

Anti-Asian/American and xenophobic harassment are on the rise across the US — and the world. In this virtual Zoom workshop co-sponsored by Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC, Right To Be, and Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California, you’ll learn how you can take care of yourself when you experience harassment.

During this 75-minute, highly interactive training you’ll learn Right To Be’s methodology for responding to harassment: 1) Trust your Instincts, 2) Reclaim Your Space, and 3) Practice Resilience. You’ll learn how your identities can shape your experience of harassment and the impact that harassment has on you and your community as a whole. We’ll talk about what to look for when assessing your safety, and how to determine if responding in the moment is the right action or not. We’ll also take a deep dive into how to build your resilience on an individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and societal front. You’ll leave with new tools on how to respond to harassment, whether your response is in the moment while that harassment is happening or long-term.
