Day Against Hate Bystander Violence Prevention Training

The Day Against Hate is an opportunity for communities across New York to come together, learn concrete skills, and begin to build the relationships we need to protect ourselves and each other from hate violence.

Jewish, Arab and Muslim, Black and Brown, immigrant, and LGBTQ communities — all of us have a shared interest in defeating the violence and hate growing in our communities. By participating in the Date Against Hate, residents of New York City will take another step away from fear, and toward each other. None of us is responsible for the bigoted ideologies that undergird hate violence, but all of us have the ability to fight back.

Participants will build skills and confidence with de-escalation techniques, by participating in a community-based violence prevention bystander training. By becoming upstanders, we can take greater responsibility for the safety and character of our city, and ourselves.
