After calling the police, you can report hate incidents through OCA – Asian Pacific Advocates. MidTown calls all people to stand in social solidarity against hate, xenophobia, and racial targeting of ethnic Chinese and Asian Americans due to harmful stereotyping about COVID-19. The false belief that individuals are contagious because they are ethnic Chinese or Asian American is resulting in harassment, assaults, and destruction of property against Asian Americans. We condemn these cowardly actions. |
