Bystander Support when witnessing a Discriminatory or Harassing incident
Harassment and discrimination should NOT be dismissed.
Speak out when jokes or comments are made that are hateful or demean others because of perceived age, color, creed, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity/presentation, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, social class, veteran status, or any combination of these or related factors.
Ask yourself if you use derogatory, degrading, or offensive terms in describing others and if you avoid people who are different from you.
Educate yourself.
