How to Respond to Anti-Asian/American Harassment When it Happens to You

ASIAN AMERICANS ADVANCING JUSTICE (AAJC) and RIGHT TO BE _____(formerly Hollaback!) will be co-facilitating a training for all CUNY SPH students, faculty, and staff. During this interactive training you’ll learn their methodology for responding to anti-Asian/American 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. There will be discussion on what to look for when assessing your safety, and how to determine if responding in the moment is the right action or not. Facilitators will 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.
