Situational Awareness Workshop

Activate YOUR Power.

In response to the increased rise of Anti-Asian/American, xenophobic, harassment, and anti-hate towards marginalized communities of color, OCA is providing educational and awareness tools to combat these types of systemic oppression.

This Situational Awareness Workshop (SAW) is a free, 1.5 hour, interactive training to teach people on how to be a confident and effective bystander against racism and discrimination. At the end of the training, each participant will have the tools to be able to intervene as a bystander whenever they see or experience harassment.

The SAW program was developed by the OCA Greater Houston Chapter.

The SAW program is part of the AdvOCAtes in Action series.
