Stop AAPI Hate

March 17, 2021

Our hearts go out to the families and friends affected by the mass shooting in the Atlanta area. Six of the people murdered were Asian women. The violence comes as the Asian and Pacific Islander (API) community is grappling with a dramatic increase in assaults and other racially-motivated crimes. Hatred is destroying our country. We condemn the attacks and urge everyone to stand in solidarity against racism, hate, bigotry and discrimination.

We understand that these are troubling times. If you or someone you know in the API community is experiencing trauma, please get help. Please check in on your family, friends, colleagues and neighbors. Below is a list of resources specifically for Asians and Pacific Islanders. While it is not comprehensive, it is a place to start.
