Wash the Hate

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, over 2,600 anti-Asian incidents have been reported to #StopAAPIHate, 
which was established in mid-March after a school bullying incident in California sent a student to the ER.
Perpetrators target Asian Americans because of the misperception that they are covid-19 carriers.  The virus originated in China.   Further reflecting ignorance, perpetrators target any person(s) perceived to be Chinese regardless of ethnicity.  In Midland, Texas, a family with two young children were attacked while shopping by a customer wielding a knife.  Three members sustained deep gashes to the head.
 
Despite an FBI's warning of a surge of hate against Asian Americans and WHO guidelines warning against stigmatization of countries where diseases originate, the president and certain other officials persist referring to the covid-19 virus as the China virus or Wuhan virus as political rhetoric.
Led by Rep. Grace Meng (D-CA), the House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning anti-Asian incidents.

As residents of Montgomery County, we have been deeply involved with Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) activism and advocacy for decades. ​

​We have fought to empower AAPIs in Academia, Public Policy, and through grassroots organizing at the National, State, and Local levels.
