As we approach LNY this week, this time of celebration and joy has been tainted for me by the staggering amount of anti-Asian violence in recent weeks, especially in Chinatowns and against the elderly. @mylestho_ and i put together a call-to-action and some resources to help:
we hope that folks who feel similarly will consider donating to orgs dedicated to Asian safety (most are Bay Area based but i’m looking for LA/NY-focused orgs as well) or the gofundme we launched to redistribute funds: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-cause-against-antiasian-violence/
we’ve already doubled our goal in less than 24 hours of fundraising, so we’ll be running the fundraiser until end of this week. thank you all so much for your support
