Anti-Asian Hate

Anti-Asian hate has been a prevalent issue experienced by the Asian American community since the formation of the United States. Despite long histories of violence, issues of anti-Asian violence have been exacerbated since the COVID-19 pandemic. LEAAY has been working with Professor Russell Jeung, the founder of Stop AAPI Hate, to support those affected by anti-Asian hate crimes while also collecting data on hate crime incidents to create more effective solutions.
