We stand with our Asian American & Pacific Islander community against the rising tide of racism and hate crimes that have been stoked to a fever pitch, much of amplified by the actions of our last president. It’s on all of us to speak up against bigotry & protect our neighbors.

Hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans and Asian immigrants have skyrocketed during the pandemic. That’s why our Administration has taken actions to address these xenophobic attacks. We must continue to commit ourselves to combating racism and discrimination.

The hypersexualization of Asian women plays a HUGE part in the violence we face. I've been cornered on the street as men say "me love you long time." I've been offered money for a "happy ending massage." I've been hit on because I'm Asian and told it's a "compliment."

When men frame a murderer's actions in terms of him "having a bad day" I can't help but hear them telling the world that they themselves are one bad day away from murdering women, & demanding empathy & recognition for that fact.

Gaslighting is absolutely part of the functionality of white supremacy. Telling the oppressed that what they know is happening is not happening, it is part of the violence

Asians are not a monolith. The continent includes around 48 countries and 3 territories, all with unique cultures, food customs and traditions. But a racist attack against one of us is an attack against all of us. #StopAsianHate

Last night was an act of pure racist hatred. This is very personal to me as a mom of a child who is both Black & Asian. But it shouldn’t have to be personal to know its wrong. Speak up. Hashtags are nice but actions save lives. Standing w/ the AAPI community. #StopAsianHate

If you assault an elderly Asian person, you’re not only a racist and a coward, you’re a fool. Some of us can mess you up and put you on a stretcher, you know.

As incidents of violence against women mount, it’s more incumbent on men than ever to steer the conversation to where it belongs: men.

Are people against vaccine passports for international travel or is it just about domestic stuff? Because I’ve had to carry proof of a yellow fever vaccination for years in order to travel through most of Africa so this is nothing new. It looks like this...
