United Against Hate Week 2024: Upstander Training
UAH Week 2024: Upstander Training (High School and Middle School)
Upstander Training – High School
Upstander Training – Middle School
As parents, we all want our children to stand up for what’s right. It’s important for them to take action when they witness bullying, belittling, or any form of unkind behavior. While we can model kindness and respectful conversation, what should they do when they encounter a bully themselves? These Upstander workshops are designed to equip our youth with the tools to recognize bullying and respond as confident Upstanders.
Hosted at the Youth Center’s Dance Studio, the workshops will be led by staff from OneLife. Middle school students will enjoy snacks, and high school participants will be served dinner. After the sessions, students are invited to join in creating a collaborative art project, which will be displayed at the Youth Center.
This program is proudly supported by the Community Foundation of San Carlos, in partnership with the Parks & Recreation Foundation. Their mission is to serve everyone who “lives, works, or plays in San Carlos.”
Participation is open to all, and you don’t have to be a San Carlos resident to join—everyone is welcome!
United Against Hate Week happens in San Carlos on September 22-28, 2024
– is a call for local civic action to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a threat to the safety and civility of our neighborhoods, towns, and cities. We want to empower local residents to take action in their local communities and alter the course of this growing intolerance. When cities and their residents work together against hate, we can restore respect and civil discourse, embrace the strength of diversity and build inclusive and equitable communities for all.
Join us! You can post signs, host events, share stories, attend rallies, and connect with schools and neighborhood civic institutions. Nothing is too small, because working united in each community is what will defeat hate in all communities.

What is a hate crime?
According to California state law, hate crime charges may be filed when there is evidence that bias, hatred, or prejudice based on the victim’s real or perceived race/ethnicity, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation is a substantial factor in the commission of the offense. This definition is codified in the California penal code sections 422.55 to 422.95 pertaining to hate crime.
What is a hate incident?
A hate incident is a non-criminal act that involves bias-motivated hostility in which a victim’s real or perceived race/ethnicity, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation is a substantial motivating factor. Some examples of hate incidents can include: derogatory name calling, bullying, hate mail, and refusing service.
Who We Are
Since 2017 we have come together with state and local leaders, community members, activists, and so many others to stand United Against Hate. Our message is clear – we reject hate of any kind and believe that building a safer and more equitable world starts by working together.
We Stand United Against Hate
United Against Hate was created by civic leaders in direct response to the sharp rise in expressions of hate in our communities. We want to empower local residents to take action in their local communities and alter the course of this growing intolerance.
When cities and their residents work together against hate, we can restore respect and civil discourse, embrace the strength of diversity and build inclusive and equitable communities for all.
