This guide provides additional resources to accompany the bystander intervention trainings on Antisemitism, anti-Islamophobia, and xenophobia hosted by Right to Be in April 2025.
These trainings are open to all UC Irvine students, faculty, and staff and is supported by a Addressing Bias and Building Community at UC Irvine (ABC at UCI) grant and cosponsored by UC Irvine Libraries, School of Humanities, School of Social Ecology, and School of Social Sciences.
According to the 2021 survey by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), 69% of American Muslims said they have personally experienced one or more incidents of anti-Muslim bigotry or discrimination since 9/11, and 83% said they witnessed someone experience this. As anti-Muslim discrimination and xenophobia are on the rise across the globe, Right To Be (RTB) and CAIR-Chicago have partnered to bring this training to support healing in Muslim communities and empower everyone to activate their power to stop Islamophobic and xenophobic harassment.
There has been a staggering rise in Antisemitic violence globally. In the United States, one in four American Jews report experiencing Antisemitism in 2021. This rise corresponds with a rise in white supremacist and far-right movements in the United States and abroad. Faced with rising Antisemitic violence, Right To Be (RTB) came together with T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights to ask how we could respond, help Jewish communities to heal, and empower allies to stand up against Antisemitic hate.
