New Bystander Intervention Animated Videos Show Methods
Everyday People Can Do to Fight Rise in Hate Incidents
Research shows 75% of people reported intervening after receiving bystander intervention training
In the last two years Asian Americans have been the victim of horrific attacks and verbal assaults. Unfortunately, the need for bystander intervention training has only grown more acute. The FBI reported a 76% increase in hate crime incidents motivated by anti-Asian bias in 2020, compared to 2019. The animated videos introduce Right To Be’s “5Ds of Bystander Intervention,” which provide people with actionable steps to address different forms of harassment.
“When Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC (Advancing Justice – AAJC) began to see the increased hate and harassment directed at Asian Americans at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to partner with Right To Be to adapt their bystander intervention training to address anti-Asian hate and harassment,” said Marita Etcubañez, Advancing Justice – AAJC’s Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives. “Since launching our training series in April 2020, Right To Be and Advancing Justice – AAJC have reached and trained over 100,000 people.”
Right To Be’s methodology involves five methods of bystander intervention. Each animation describes one of the five methods, which have been developed and tested over the past decade by Right To Be, through its training sessions that have helped hundreds of thousands of Americans learn how to answer the question, “what should I do?’
“We can witness harassment in various forms, from covert racial micro-aggressions in everyday life to overt gender discrimination in the workplace. Oftentimes, we want to diffuse the situation but don’t know how,” says Emily May, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Right To Be. “The animated series illustrates how to best navigate instances of harassment as a bystander. Our goal is to transform bystanders into allies!”
As is the case for many people of color, Asian Americans are feeling unsafe and living in fear. The partners have found it heartening to see the outpouring of support as over one hundred thousand people have signed up for bystander intervention training sessions, but now with these new videos the partner organizations are eager to reach even more people through this medium.
“In my reporting on anti-Asian hate and attacks against Black, Latina/o/x, and LGBTQIA+ communities over the past ten years, I’ve seen how bystanders want to help but aren’t sure how,” said Richard Lui, an NBC News/MSNBC anchor who volunteered to direct the series on behalf of the Asian American Journalists Association. “The need to equip folks to safely intervene and deescalate a situation is greater than ever.”
The five videos are based on the 5D strategies of bystander intervention developed by Right To Be:
Distract: Creating a distraction to de-escalate the situation;
Delegate: Finding someone else to help;
Document: Creating documentation of the incident and then giving it to the person who was harassed;
Delay: Checking in on the person who experienced harassment;
Direct: Setting a boundary with the person doing the harassing, and then turning your attention to the person being harassed.
“With these animated videos, we aimed to show both diverse people and places, so that viewers could see themselves in the bystanders seen intervening,” says Alex Lo, who produced the series.
The team is actively in discussions to show the animated videos in AMC theaters across the country during movie pre-rolls and on Comcast NBCUniversal platforms as public service announcements.
Industry veteran animator Davy Liu (Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, and more) led a team of three animators and award-winning composer Zev Burrows wrote the original score for the five-part series. The characters represent every major ethnic group (Asian, Black, Latinx, Native, and white Americans) and region of the country (North, South, East, West, and Pacific Islands). The videos are provided in Mandarin, Cantonese, Thai, Hindi, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog as well as English and Spanish.
“Providing in-language training materials for this critical bystander intervention training will help especially our vulnerable elders and limited English speakers,” added Daphne Kwok, VP, Diversity Equity & Inclusion at AARP.
Earlier last year, a brief description of the 5D’s appeared in a public service announcement produced in partnership with Advancing Justice - LA, narrated by actor Ken Jeong, and animated by award-winning illustrator James Yang. These new videos plus the PSA are a core part of the increased partnership that Right To Be and the Asian Americans Advancing Justice affiliation have nationwide to expand the reach of the bystander intervention training.

Boston Marathon Champions & National Record Holders Headline Professional Field for 2022 B.A.A. 10K
Reigning Boston Marathon Winner Evans Chebet, American Record Holders Emily Sisson & Ben True Lead Fields for June 26 Race
BOSTON – The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) has announced a star-studded field for the 2022 B.A.A. 10K, presented by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, to be held on Sunday, June 26. Evans Chebet, the 2022 Boston Marathon men’s open division champion, will return to Boston, while recently crowned American half marathon record holder Emily Sisson will lead the women’s field on the roads of Back Bay. Four-time B.A.A. 5K champion and American 5K record holder Ben True will also make his B.A.A. 10K debut.
The B.A.A. 10K starts and finishes on Charles Street adjacent to Boston Common and Boston Public Garden, and is widely regarded as one of the fastest 10K races in the world. Registration remains open at www.baa.org, while athletes interested in supporting Brigham and Women's Hospital, the B.A.A. 10K’s presenting sponsor and exclusive fundraising partner, are encouraged to visit www.runbwh.org/10k.
“We’re excited to continue to showcase the world’s most accomplished runners at our B.A.A. events,” said Mary Kate Shea, the B.A.A.’s Director of Professional Athletes and Technical Support. “We’re looking forward to cheering on all participants as they race towards the finish.”
The B.A.A. 10K women’s race brings together Boston Marathon champions Des Linden (2018) and Edna Kiplagat (2017), American record holder Sisson, 2017 B.A.A. 10K winner Joan Chelimo Melly, 2022 Boston Marathon top American Nell Rojas, 2016 USA Olympian Marielle Hall, and USA 15K runner-up Emily Durgin.
Sisson, a Providence College graduate and 2021 Olympian, ran 1:07:11 on May 7 to win the USATF Half Marathon Championships in a new national record. She’s also the defending USA 15K champion.
“Breaking the American record in the half marathon was very exciting and I'm now looking forward to switching things up and racing different distances,” said Sisson. “The 10K is a fun and different challenge and I always love racing in Boston.”
Additional international entrants include Biruktayit Degefa of Ethiopia, who has won a quartet of American road races this spring, and Kenya’s Sharon Lokedi, who placed third at the 2022 B.A.A. 5K in April. From the B.A.A. High Performance team are Erika Kemp and Abbey Wheeler; Kemp is a two-time national champion.
In the men’s race, Chebet looks to become only the second Boston Marathon champion to win the B.A.A. 10K, joining the likes of 2011 winner and course record holder Geoffrey Mutai. Chebet stormed to his first Boston Marathon victory in 2:06:51 on April 18.
“After winning the 2022 Boston Marathon, I’m excited to return to the city to run the B.A.A. 10K with a world class field,” said Chebet. “Boston feels like a second home to me now.”
Challenging Chebet from Kenya are David Bett, the reigning 2019 B.A.A. 10K winner; Kennedy Kimutai, the fastest man in the field with a 27:09 lifetime best; Bravin Kiptoo, the 2019 African junior 10,000m champion; and Nicholas Kosimbei, winner of this year’s Cherry Blossom 10 Miler in Washington, D.C. Brothers Jake and Zane Robertson, a dynamic pair from New Zealand who have lived and trained in Kenya, will also race. Recent Iowa State graduate and NCAA champion Wesley Kiptoo will make his Boston road racing debut.
Maine-native Ben True will return to familiar territory, having won the B.A.A. 5K four times, including a national-record setting run of 13:20 in 2017. Fellow American contenders include Olympians Leonard Korir and Shadrack Kipchirchir, Princeton, Mass.-native Colin Bennie, and a quartet of B.A.A. High Performance Team members in Jerrell Mock, Matt McDonald, Jonas Hampton, and Paul Hogan. Korir enters the B.A.A. 10K hot off a pair of national title wins at the USATF Half Marathon and USATF 25K Championships in May.
In the wheelchair division, Jenna Fesemyer, the 2022 B.A.A. 5K women’s winner, Susannah Scaroni, the 2022 Boston Marathon runner-up, and 2020 Paralympian Yen Hoang are entered. Scaroni earned a gold medal on the track at the 2021 Paralympic Games in the 5000m, and is the fastest women’s wheelchair marathoner in U.S. history. James Senbeta and Hermin Garic are the top men’s wheelchair entrants.
For the first time in race history, Para Athletics Divisions will be offered for athletes with upper-limb, lower-limb, and visual impairments. Among the entrants confirmed include Marko Cheseto Lemtukei, Chaz Davis, and Liz Willis, each of whom won Para Division titles at April’s 126th Boston Marathon. Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who ran 104 marathons in 104 consecutive days for a Guinness World Record, and local Para athlete Adrianne Haslet are also entered.
Media members interested in covering the B.A.A. 10K, presented by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, may apply for credentials here.
In addition to racing, top professional athletes will participate in the first-ever B.A.A. 10K Fest & Field Day on Saturday, June 25, one day prior to the race. From 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Boston Common, 10K Fest & Field Day will feature youth fitness activities, games, appearances by professional athletes, running clinics, and more. Participants will also be able to pick-up their participant shirts and bib numbers at 10K Fest. Additional details will be available on baa.org in the coming weeks.
Registration for the 2022 B.A.A. 10K, presented by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, is currently open through the B.A.A.’s online platform Athletes’ Village. All participants who enter will receive an adidas participant shirt, unique bib number, and finisher medal. Additional participant information can be found on baa.org. The race will start at 8:00 a.m. ET on Sunday, June 26 on Charles Street adjacent to Boston Common and Boston Public Garden.
Brigham and Women's Hospital, the B.A.A. 10K’s presenting sponsor and exclusive fundraising partner, will again field a team of fundraising runners. Since 2016, more than 2,100 runners and 180 teams have raised $1.2 million to fuel life-giving breakthroughs at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Learn more and register at www.runbwh.org/10k.
On June 1, the B.A.A. will celebrate Global Running Day with a special pop-up location at the Boston Marathon Finish Line between 3:00-6:00 p.m. Runners can take a picture with the Boston Marathon trophy, receive giveaways, refreshments, and more!
