We stand together to #StopAsianHate
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, hate crimes related to coronavirus are rising in the United States. Asian Americans are targets of verbal harassment, shunning, physical assault, being coughed/spat on, and refusal of service or workplace discrimination due to misconceptions and misinformation about the spread of the virus.
What’s Happening
- Eight innocent people were killed in Atlanta spa shootings on March 16, 2021. Six of them were Asian American women.
- More than 3,800 anti-Asian hate incidents have been self-reported since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
