Understanding Bias

Bias is an unfair opinion about a person or group that isn’t based on facts. It can be conscious or unconscious. Bias shows up in daily interactions, in institutions, and in media. It matters because it can lead to hate incidents, harm mental health, and weaken community trust. Common types of bias include racial, gender, religious, sexual orientation, disability, and age bias.

Bystander Intervention: The 5 Ds

Distract

Create a dsitraction to de-escalte the situation (ask for directions/time, drop something near them)

Delegate

Find someone with a position of power and authority—such as a security officer, staff member, teacher, or another bystander.

Delay

 Once situation diffuses, check in with the person to see if they’re okay. Offer support & resources. Escort them/ stay until they feel safe.

Document

Record or take photos safely and discreetly. Note time, location, and details. Check for consent with the person before sharing.

Direct

 Directly intervene in the situation. Loudly call out the behavior or what’s happening. Not sure? Ask. Speak up clearly and assertively—only if safe to do so.
