Rindge Racial Justice Group, in partnership with Quabbin Mediation, is offering a workshop in active bystander training Monday, April 17, at 6 p.m. at Cathedral of the Pines, 10 Hale Hill Road in Rindge.
The session is free and open to the public of all ages from middle school to adult. Advance registration is required. Send email to rindgerj@gmail.com with the number of attendees being registered, with the name and email address of each.
According to Becky Beaton, member of the Rindge Racial Justice Group, the training will help people know how to step in when they see something unfair or troubling without resorting to aggression, name-calling, or other ills.
Quabbin Mediation developed the workshop in partnership with regional school districts, police departments and community organizations. The interactive workshop has been delivered to more than 32,000 participants through 3,200 community trainers. More information is available at trainingactivebystanders.org.
Rindge Racial Justice Group is an informal gathering of residents who came together as an outgrowth of an event offered by Ingalls Memorial Library in 2022. Everyone is welcome to join Rindge Racial Justice’s discussions and become part of the group’s future activities. For information about the training or to register, send email to rindgerj@gmail.com.
