Speaking Out Against Xenophobia and Racist Attacks
We know that recent xenophobic and racist attacks against people of Asian heritage and Asian Americans have sparked fear across communities – we strongly condemn those attacks. The best way to combat these acts is to actively stand up and speak out against them. We know that you join us in working to protect all people and ensure their safe and affordable access to coverage and care. For messaging guidance, see this from Protecting Immigrant Families (PIF) and this from the Opportunity Agenda.
The Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council (A3PCON) along with the Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) on Thursday announced the creation of the online reporting center where people can fill out a form — currently available in English, traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese and Korean — to report the location and type of discrimination experienced and other details.
