"What’s worse than being targeted for harassment because of who you are? Enduring the harassment while surrounded by bystanders who see what is happening, but do nothing."
The guide is a free downloadable pdf, which you can get here: https://www.splcenter.org/20171005/splc-campus-guide-bystander-intervention
The guide is excellent, and includes this great advice:
Remember, everyone can do something. One of the most important things we can do is to let the person who is targeted know – even if it is through a small gesture – that they are not alone.
