As immigrants and other vulnerable communities face rising discrimination and violence, we all have the power to help protect our friends and neighbors. Learn how to safely and effectively intervene when we witness anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ+, or racist rhetoric, public harassment, ICE encounters, or workplace discrimination. This interactive training will empower Asian Aunty Brigade members with practical tools to de-escalate harmful situations and support the rights of our most vulnerable community members. We’ll end with fun, community, and conversation over another tasty Asian meal.
AAPI New Jersey Needs You!
JOIN THE ASIAN AUNTY BRIGADE
Equip yourself with all the tools you need to participate in future actions, while getting to know other determined community members. Over the sessions, we’ll discuss the values we’re standing up for in this moment, practice the Korean protest drumming tradition of pungmul with Eunhee Ahn of Choomnoori, learn how to practice situational awareness and de-escalate situations, and more!
Choose daytime or evening sessions to suit your schedule. A tasty Asian meal will be served at each training. All sessions will be held at our office in downtown Montclair (address provided to registrants).
