The rise in anti-Asian hate and violence is horrific and unacceptable. Each day another incident devastates America. President Biden issued a presidential memorandum in January condemning racism, xenophobia, and intolerance against the 23 million Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in the United States. But the community needs action. United in the same spirit and mission, leaders from ADL, Committee of 100, NAACP and the U.S. Senate shared concerns, experiences and how to move forward – education, re-generation, legislation. How can we come together to create real change?
