That’s why we launched Stop AAPI Hate Action – to make it easier for everyday people nationwide to come together, organize, and resist this oppression.

Whether you are a student at a football game or a truck driver just trying to make a living, the past few weeks have shown that no one is safe from Trump and his loyalists — who continue to use their platforms to spread racist and xenophobic rhetoric about South Asian communities across the U.S.
