It is important that we are mindful of the issues that are happening within our world, whether that be in our own neighborhoods, our state, our country, or halfway across the world. The media content that you surround yourself with plays a significant impact on how you view the world, hence why it's critical that you make sure you're getting appropriate, relevant information. On this subpage, you will find multiple resources that will help you broaden and challenge your worldview. After reading or watching or scrolling through these resources, we hope you find it within yourself help one way or another. Continue reading to find out how you can make your community a better place than you found it, one act at a time.
Please read mindfully and be aware that these issues don't simply go away once you educate yourself about them.
This can be your starting point to action. Be sure that your impact goes beyond what is suggested here.
The recent surge of Asian-targeted hate crimes and violence has been painful to read about. As Asian Americans, we (Alexa and Trish) stand against racial bias, discrimination, and any targeted violent acts. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the AAPI community has heightened their senses to outside forces due to fear, while also mourning for members of their own community.
Do not stand for any anti-Asian hate and please consider being part of the conversation & change to keep all communities safe. Challenge the ideologies that minimize the weight of this situation.

As said by @linmalakas, creator of the dotherightthing Carrd: "no amount of resources in any carrd can represent world issues in a way that's complex enough to do them justice. and that's a truth i've been actively trying to reckon with.
so when y'all use this carrd, please keep that in mind. please realize that these resources are not the end all be all, that the people who are directly affected by an issue know what they're going through better than anyone else, and they'll ALWAYS have varying opinions on the matter."
