From NPR: Boston Launches Anti-Islamophobia Poster Campaign

The city of Boston is using the well-known illustrated one-pager by Maeril in an anti-Islamophobia poster campaign.  Extracted from the full NPR article published on July 18, 2017:

The city of Boston is launching a poster campaign to fight Islamophobia by encouraging bystanders to intervene, in a nonconfrontational way, if they witness anti-Muslim harassment.

Starting Monday, the city began installing 50 posters around the city with advice on what to do if you see Islamophobic behavior. The posters recommend sitting by a victim of harassment and talking with them about a neutral subject while ignoring the harasser.

Below is the customized (and slightly simplified) version of the original Maeril graphic that the city is using.  Click it to enlarge.

Welcome to the Bystander Intervention blog

Bystander Intervention is a family of easy-to-use, nonviolent principles and tactics that anyone can use to de-escalate incidents of hate speech and harassment, particularly incidents in which a member of a minority community is targeted in a public space.

We can think of bystander intervention as a basic set of skills that everyone should learn, just as we all learn how to tie our shoes or drive a car.

This lightweight blog is the sister site to the Bystander Intervention Resources pages.  Together, the resources pages and the blog form a collection of information and pointers to US-based training in, and resources related to Bystander Intervention.
