AUSTIN, Texas -- As videos of street harassment continue to dominate the internet, people are asking what they can do to stop the next "BBQ Becky" from happening.

It is incidents like these and others which is why Pledge to Step In is teaching people how to be a better bystander.

Their Bystander Intervention training teaches non-violent strategies for stopping and avoiding conflict. In the class, participants learn non-violent tips for stepping in including confronting a harrasser and mirroring their movement or starting a conversation with the victim until their harasser leaves.

Trainers also went over beginner level self-defense strategies for when things get violent. Even though it's the last resort, trainers say participants learn just enough to nearly earn a yellow belt in Karate.

The group's founder, Salima Alikhan, said she wanted to start a movement where everyone has each other's backs.

"I wanted to sort of almost start this community sense of responsibility," Alikhan said. "Those of us who have more power can step in and help protect someone who's being targeted."

The class is held every couple of months at the Townlake YMCA. For information on how to attend the next one, visit their website austinymca.org.
