Everyone wants to live in a hate-free neighborhood. What can you do to make it happen? This two-hour workshop is a great start!

Bystander Intervention Workshop: Help Make Your Neighborhood Hate-Free at Admiral United Church of Christ, 4320 SW Hill Street. Seattle 98116 on Saturday, September 11 from 1-3.

Anti-Hate Alaska Junction, a local grassroots organisation, presents Bystander Intervention Workshop. A local minister, Reverend Andrew Conley-Holcom uses interactive techniques to help attendees learn how to intervene in an aggressive or harassing interaction – protecting the target while not escalating the perpetrator.

This two-hour experience will increase your confidence about intervening when needed. You’ll learn to bypass your “flight or fight” reaction and bring calm and de-escalation skills if you witness a threatening interaction.

Training is free. Donations are gratefully accepted.
