A young woman stands at a protest holding a cardboard sign that reads 'TIME TO TAKE ACTION' in bold red letters. She has a serious expression and is surrounded by a diverse group of people in the background, some clapping and raising their hands in support.

In this moment of intensified ICE raids, rising anti-immigrant sentiment, the banning of words like “diversity” and “inclusion,” and the widespread dismantling of DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging) efforts, we are witnessing harm through the escalation of state-sanctioned oppression. This one-hour webinar offers clear, actionable guidance on how to be a strong and effective bystander in the face of injustice—whether it’s happening in your workplace, your neighborhood, or in public policy.

We’ll discuss real-life scenarios and give you tools to recognize harm, intervene, and support those most impacted—especially immigrants, Black Indigenous and Other People of Color, and other historically marginalized communities. Whether you’re witnessing harassment at work, discrimination in public spaces, or policy rollbacks in your organization, you have a role to play.

By the end of the webinar, participants will:

• Understand the current landscape and why bystander action is critical in 2025

• Learn how to assess situations and choose safe, effective ways to intervene

• Build confidence in speaking up and standing in solidarity

• Walk away with tangible actions to take in your workplace, community, and everyday life
