Ways to support Asian & Asian American communities in the wake of anti-Asian violence

Mutual aid for Asian & Asian American immigrants:

• Donate directly to the GoFundMe’s of survivors and families of the victims of the shootings.
• Donate to Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta to help directly support the victims, survivors, and their families who were impacted by the Atlanta shootings.

• Donate to The Asian Mental Health Project to help provide tangible mental health services and resources for the Pan-Asian community

• Donate to Red Canary Song, a grassroots collective of Asian & migrant sex workers that is also donating funds to the Atlanta victims, survivors, and their families.

• Donate to have food delivered to Asian American elders in NYC who may not feel safe leaving their homes through Heart of Dinner.

Showing up for the Asian & Asian American Community:

• Report instances of anti-Asian assault at STOPAAPIHate.org.

• Advocate for more language translation services for non-English speaking neighborhoods.

• End the model minority myth by educating yourself on the range of the Asian American experience. This brief overview of the historical construction of the model minority myth by Professor David Shih is a good starting point.

• Volunteer to help escort elders in Oakland Chinatown to keep them safe as they run errands through Compassion In Oakland.
