Lessons Learned: Three Years Since the Rise in Covid-related Anti-Asian Hate - 7/17/2023

Conversation Overview

Three years after racial incidents targeting Asian Americans jumped as some unfortunately wrongly linked them to COVID-19, Asian Americans continue to face episodes of discrimination. In 2023, nearly 75% of Chinese Americans reported discrimination in the past year. Nearly three out of four Chinese Americans say they have experienced racial discrimination in the past 12 months, and two in three feel a need to stay vigilant about hate crimes or harassment, a new study says. Since 2020, AAPI’s have experienced a 167% jump in hate crimes in California.

On 7.17.2023, join Norbert Tan, Deputy Director of AAPI Equity Alliance and a Senior Advisor for Stop AAPI Hate, and Anna Kwong for a conversation on lessons learned after three years since the rise in Covid-related anti-Asian hate.
