PSA: Stop Asian Hate Crimes. Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a massive increase in Asian American Hate Crimes. In 2019, roughly 200 hate crimes were reported. That number has skyrocketed to 3000 since the beginning of the coronavirus due to dangerous rhetoric utilized by political leaders. In this episode, we discuss the recent rise in hate crimes, share our own experiences dealing with hate crimes, talk about why our communities need help, and share resources to help educate and inform ourselves and our audience about the ways we can help these communities. Check out the sources below and as always, please let us know any feedback/additional resources we can share to help stand in solidarity and assist our communities.
