This past yr Asian Americans have had acid thrown on their bodies. Our faces have been slashed w knives. Our elderly are being targeted, slammed to the ground, assaulted while on walks. Our grandmothers robbed. Our college students have been victims of targeted shootings.
Last year Stop AAPI Hate reported over 2,808 hate incidents against the A Am community. The number of hate crimes against Asian Americans is rapidly rising in 2021. Check on your Asian American friends. We are navigating layers of pain, grief and trauma right now.
Invest in the protection and safety of Asian Americans in your community. Can you:
➡️ Organize a peace walk & offer protection to A Am through physical presence?
➡️ Support local Asian small businesses by eating at our restaurants & offering financial donations?
In light of recent attacks against Asian Americans, can you:
➡️ Denounce hate crimes against A Am in your home, neighborhood, workplace, church?
➡️ Call public officials about resources for your A Am community such as access to mental health care, language services and more?
It will take all of us working together to confront anti-Asian racism. Let’s get to work.
