Support organizing in the AAPI community

You can support organizing and advocacy in the Atlanta AAPI community by donating $5.

Pamela, The Atlanta police refuse to call last night's horrific events a hate crime—yet six of the eight victims of the shooting in Atlanta-area massage parlors were Asian. Asian-owned businesses were targeted. And right-wing media has spent the past year promoting hateful conspiracies targeting the Asian community specifically. The Asian community in Georgia is reeling. The National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum is an organization that directly advocates for and supports local Asian immigrant workers. Please, donate $5 directly to NAPAWF today. Anti-Asian violence and harassment has increased as racist and xenophobic vitriol during COVID-19 have skyrocketed. This violence disproportionately impacts women. According to NAPAWF, 1 in 6 Asian American and Pacific Islander voters say they or a family member have faced racism related to COVID-19. Asian American women have consistently reported 2-3 times more incidents of harassment and violence than men.1 It is particularly terrifying for women in the Asian community who are essential and low-wage workers. Women who already risk exposure to COVID-19 also have to worry about hate crimes when they show up to their jobs at restaurants, salons and spas, convenience stores, grocery stores. Everyone deserves to feel safe at work and where they live.
