Lauren R. Taylor emphasizes that low-risk interventions can dramatically shift the atmosphere in a group when derogatory comments are made, urging individuals to speak up calmly.
Active bystander training highlights the '5 Ds': distract, delegate, delay, direct, and document, enabling individuals to effectively respond to harassment in various situations.
The demand for bystander intervention training surged after the 2016 election, and Taylor suggests a similar rise is likely now, as societal fears escalate.
Taylor expresses concern that Trump's political rhetoric may embolden harassment behaviors, reflecting a broader historical pattern that needs active counteraction through community intervention.
