Experiences of Racism in Ketchikan

* 1. WISH hosts a bystander intervention program known as Green Dot. This program helps individuals feel empowered to address uncomfortable, unsafe or potentially violent situations in their daily lives. 

We know that interpersonal violence is often related to larger social issues, such as sexism, racism, ableism and homophobia, among others. 

As we continue in our mission to prevent violence in the community, we would like to broaden our own understanding of the experiences of individuals who live in Ketchikan. 

As such, we are asking our community members to anonymously share with us any incidences of racism they may have experienced or witnessed in the community. We hope gathering these experiences will enable us to better equip community members to address violence they see in our community.
