Support AAPI communities
In light of increasing discrimination against Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI), organizations serving these communities need more support now than ever. We recommend that donations be made to the following:
- Stop AAPI Hate
- National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum
- Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund
Resources
Nearly 3,800 hate incidents were reported against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders nationwide over the last year. We encourage you to learn more about AAPI racism and how to be an advocate with the following:
- One hour virtual training on bystander intervention
- Learn About Hate Crimes from the Department of Justice
- Documentaries to Watch for Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage Month
- Follow the Ithaca Asian American website campaign: #iamnotavirus
