[Washington, D.C.]Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC (Advancing Justice – AAJC) and Hollaback! offer bilingual Bystander Intervention Training – Stop Anti-Asian and Asian American and Xenophobic Harassment in Chinese. The free training will take place on January 31 at 3pm Hawaii / 4pm Alaska / 5pm Pacific / 6pm Mountain / 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern. The trainers will be using bilingual slides in Chinese and English with simultaneous interpretations in Mandarin and Cantonese via Zoom. To access the training, please register here.

“We have witnessed a lot of anti-Chinese sentiment in anti-Asian hate,” said Marita Etcubañez, Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives at Advancing Justice – AAJC. “COVID-19 hate crimes and incidents disproportionately impact Chinese Americans. They are eager for training that can give them practical, actionable tactics to intervene when they see or experience harassment. We are proud to equip them with these skills and expand our trainings in Chinese so that people who prefer resources in Cantonese and Mandarin can learn these useful intervention steps.”

According to Stop AAPI Hate in its National Report Through September 2021, Chinese report the most hate incidents (42.7%) of all Asian American and Pacific Islander ethnic groups.

Advancing Justice – AAJC and Hollaback! offer trainings in a total of six Asian languages – Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), Korean, Hindi, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese. The two partners launched their first free bystander intervention training to address anti-Asian hate in April 2020, and since then, they have reached more than 120,000 people. The training is not only popular, but also effective. According to Hollaback!’s post-training evaluation, 98.8% of those trained reported that because of the training, they were able to recognize and intervene when harassment occurred. Of all people who reported witnessing harassment after completing the training, 75% reported intervening, a best practice in reducing trauma and de-escalating violence.

“It is a privilege and a testimony to our collective commitment to the Asian American community that we are able to expand and offer these culturally competent, useful trainings in more Asian languages,” said Dax Valdes, Senior Trainer with Hollaback!. "We always look for ways to make our sessions more accessible, so we can reach more community members who may be wondering what to do when they see someone else getting harassed, on public transportation or at the grocery store, for example. Offering these trainings in Asian languages is a crucial step in meeting communities where they are.”

亚裔推进正义协会——AAJC携手Hollaback!共同推出免费中文旁观者干预培训

[华盛顿哥伦比亚特区]——亚裔推进正义协会——AAJCHollaback一同推出双语版旁观者干预培训——消除反亚裔种族主义和仇外骚扰。该培训将提供中英双语声道,同声粤语及普通话传译,以及双语幻灯片。1月31日夏威夷时间下午三点,阿拉斯加时间四点,太平洋时间五点,山地时间六点,中央时间七点,美东时间八点,培训师将通过Zoom直播培训。参会者可在此报名

“我们在反亚裔仇视中看到了许多反华情绪,”亚裔推进正义协会——AAJC战略计划高级总监Marita Etcubañez表示,“新冠肺炎仇恨犯罪及仇恨事件不成比例地影响到在美华人。人们渴望学习有实践意义的策略,从而能在目睹或者亲身经历骚扰的时候知道如何处理。我们对于我们提供的培训感到荣幸。这些培训可以教在美华裔非常重要的干预技巧。同时,我们提供粤语和普通话同声传译也有助于那些偏好中文资源的人进行培训。”

根据消除亚裔太平洋岛民仇视提供的截止至2021年9月全国报告来看,在所有举报仇视事件的人中,华裔人数最多,在所有亚裔太平洋岛民族裔中占42.7%。

亚裔推进正义协会——AAJCHollaback!共以六种亚洲语言进行培训,包括中文(粤语和普通话)、韩文、印地语、塔加拉族语、泰语、以及越南语。两个合作伙伴在2020年4月进行了第一次公开培训,从那之后,共有超过12万人参加了消除亚裔仇视的旁观者干预培训。这项培训不仅仅受欢迎,还非常有效果。根据Hollaback!提供的培训后评估来看,98.8%的受培训者表示,因为接受了这场培训,人们得以发现并对骚扰事件进行干预。在所有表明培训后见证过骚扰的人中,75%的人表示进行了干预。值得一提的是,旁观者干预是减轻创伤和化解暴力的最好方式之一。

“我们将这项有用的、具有文化敏感性的培训延伸到更多亚洲语言,是我们对亚裔的共同诚意的见证,也是一种殊荣,”Hollaback!高级培训师Dax Valdes表示,“我们一直在寻找能让亚裔群体更方便参与培训的方法,这样我们才能跟更多的人建立联系。这些人可能在想,在菜市场或者公共交通上看到别人被骚扰时,应该怎么做。我们用亚洲语言进行培训,恰恰是从社区的角度来满足社区的需求。”
