RACISM IS
CONTAGIOUS

Help us find a cure.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Asian Americans have become targets for verbal and physical assaults. Though advocates have worked tirelessly to bring these stories to the forefront, thousands across the country still don’t know where to turn for help or how to get involved. With this site, we provide publicly accessible resources for visualizing the data associated with these attacks to tell our story, encourage those who feel alone to speak, and to help spearhead actionable change.

It’s sad and disturbing how I have to constantly play scenarios of defending myself if I’m ever attacked over and over in my head. I’m afraid that if I go outside by myself it just might happen because of the color of my skin and the size of my eyes. #HATEISAVIRUS


#IAmNotCovid19 #HateIsAVirus Many are still using this time to spread hate, we all seen too many cases of Asian people being targeted/attacked. This selfie is to empower - its not a “us VS them” time, we are ONE! I encourage you to join us, spread love, it’s the only way ❤️❤️
