Speak Up! Workshop with Holocaust and Human Rights Center hosted by Beth Israel Congregation, Sunday, September 11, 10am at the Minnie Brown Center, 906 Washington Street

Have you heard someone say something biased or offensive and been caught off guard? Have you struggled with what to do or how to respond effectively and done nothing? Hurtful, racist and antisemetic speech is all around us, sometimes in obvious ways and oftentimes in less obvious ones. This workshop is based on work by one of HHRC partners, Learning for Justice, and is designed to give you tools to address everyday bigotry, whether at work, at home, or in your community. After a brief introduction to bias and how it operates, we will focus on learning practical strategies and techniques that will prepare you to speak up in response to bias, prejudice and anti-semitism. You will then use these new skills to brainstorm responses to bias-related scenarios. There will be time at the end to discuss additional ways to carry this work forward.

Babysitting available.
