Episode 28: Addressing & Combating AAPI Hate Crimes
Description
Ever since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic last year during March of 2020 up until now, the United States has seen a 150% increase in anti-Asian hate crimes. With a surge in the use of racist rhetoric and behavior, many Asian-owned businesses have suffered significantly & members of the AAPI community have been targeted to be victims of harassment, assault, and violence. It's important for us to use our voices and speak up loudly to bring justice to the 8 individuals -- 6 of them Asian women, who lost their lives on March 16th in Atlanta, Georgia.
