Donating, Volunteering, Reporting Hate Incidents

Here's How to Help Combat Anti-Asian Violence

Over the past year, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have reported nearly 3,800 hate incidents, according to new data from the nonprofit Stop AAPI Hate reporting center -- and this number is likely only a fraction of the crimes that actually occur. The attacks, including verbal harassment, shunning, physical attacks, civil rights violations and online harassment, target women more than men, the data found. Just this week, shootings at two massage parlors in Atlanta left eight people dead, six of them women of Asian descent.

The rise in hate-based attacks over the past year has coincided with the spread of the coronavirus and with former President Donald Trump's statements blaming China for the pandemic -- rhetoric that includes terms like "China Virus" or "Kung Flu" and that contradicts guidance from the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

If you'd like to do something to help support the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, we've collected a list of resources, including educational tools, ways to report incidents, and contact info for organizations accepting donations.

Stop AAPI Hate

This nonprofit, created in March 2020, tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the US. It also offers multilingual resources for community members, and advocates for local, state and national policies that reinforce human rights and civil rights protections.
