Abolitionist Bystander Intervention Workshop

Abolitionist Bystander Intervention Training

This workshop explores why we must reject the framing of racist incidents as ‘hate crime’ and ways we can intervene when we witness such harm. Challenging automatic responses such as calling the police or doing nothing, this is a space to explore the multitude of alternative responses available to us. Together we’ll share skills and build autonomous practices to respond to racist incidents, reduce our reliance on the state and keep each other safe!

When: 12pm - 2pm, Sat 13 December 2025

Where: Govan Project Space, 249 Govan Road, G51 1HJ

This is a masked event. Mask required for all medically able. We’ll have some available at the entrance.

Access: Govan Project Space has step free access via ramp. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet. There will be a HEPA air purifier in the space. The main doors stay open for increased ventilation, however it’s chilly - dress warm!

This workshop emerged from work with Remember & Resist, a project by Daikon Zine to expand abolitionist thinking and practice within East and Southeast Asian diaspora organising in the UK.
