I need way more non-Asian DEI people and activists to be speaking up about the heinous anti-Asian violence and hate crimes that are happening right now.
Your silence is so hurtful. I’m watching y’all post about anything but. Please say something. Amplify our pain is valid too.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about... Check out posts by @nguyen_amanda @DionLimTV covering 20+ recent attacks on Asian elders and small biz. A Thai elder was murdered, a 91 old man thrown to the ground, and countless vandalism targeting Chinatown businesses in Oakland.
The mainstream media doesn’t give a rats ass about our struggles so we need people to show up and amplify what’s happening and participate in community based interventions to stir the conversation away from pro-police solutions.
The tension between the Asian and Black communities is building right now and we cannot repeat history. Asians - we can fight anti-Asian racism without being anti-Black or pro-police. Black folks - people condemn anti-Asian rhetoric within your own community and amplify our pain.
Everyone needs to recognize the white supremacist and capitalist system has us fighting each other for the scraps.
Solidarity is our only way out of this.
