Join Rebuild and the Koreatown CAT911 branch for a community building skillshare of bystander intervention techniques.
Bystander intervention training fosters community building by equipping individuals with the skills to safely and empathetically address conflict, support vulnerable individuals, and promote collective accountability and trust.
About your Teachers:
CAT911:
CAT-911 is building a Southern California-wide network of Community Action Teams (CAT) which can operate as resources for responding to community needs as alternatives to 911 in:
- Peacebuilding around conflict resolution between individuals or groups in neighborhoods
- Police violence
- Domestic violence
- Sexual violence
- Mental health crisis
- Acute first aid needs when paramedics are not responding or there is a concern about police involvement
Our organized work is based on a framework of Transformative Justice, which aims to create a world governed on principles of mutual respect, interrelatedness and reciprocity rather than violence, domination and disposability. The Koreatown branch of CAT911 utilizes a community hotline where they respond to or assist in neighborhood crisis through working with community members towards individually focused solutions.

When Mx.

They are passionate about building autonomous and confident communities through accessbile handy skill building. They are also a community organizer in the area, a lover of animals, and a real SILLY GOOSE. You can hear them giggling on tik tok @mxrichmakes.
