From the Anti-Defamation League (https://www.adl.org/):
Anti-Asian hate, bias and violence have significantly increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with some prominent voices stoking this hate by broadly blaming Asian people for the spread of the illness.
As a result, since early last year, thousands of xenophobic and discriminatory acts against Asians and Asian Americans have been reported. These incidents include everything from insults, racial slurs and vandalism to violent assaults. This has created a climate of fear in these communities.
You can speak out against anti-Asian hate now. Call on Congress to take action by passing two House resolutions that condemn this rising tide of racist hatred and aim to curb the damaging effects of anti-Asian bias and violence.
ADL urges our communities, law enforcement agencies and political leaders to speak out against bias and hate and to hold the perpetrators accountable.
Contact Congress to pass the resolutions at https://www.adl.org/Anti-Asian-Hate.
ADL is part of the #ProtectAllPeople Anti-Asian Hate Social Media Campaign. Join the campaign on social media to learn about the history of anti-Asian hate, share facts on hate crimes and hate incidents and raise awareness around the importance of reporting them. #ProtectAllPeople
