Bay Area News Group: Workshop helps bystanders combat hate crimes
Hate can happen anywhere—on BART, a school campus or while just casually walking down the street, says Assemblyman Evan Low.
The former Campbell mayor said during a community meeting on Nov. 27 that he’s heard plenty of stories from people who have been attacked because of their identity, whether it be because of ethnicity, religion, sexuality, political affiliation or a combination.
That’s why Low teamed with the Council on American-Islamic Relations to participate in bystander intervention training.
