Fight AAPI Hate

(Updated March 17, 2021)

Across the United States, there has been a rise in unprovoked, violent attacks against Asian Americans—a longstanding reality in our country that spiked last spring and is once again on the rise.

These racist assaults must stop, and 826 Boston stands with our Asian-American colleagues, students, and community members.

Let’s do this work together. If you witness a hate crime, here’s what you can do: 

1. Immediately call and report the incident to 911 
2. Take it a step further: File a complaint to the Attorney General Civil Rights Division by calling 617-963-2917 
3. Report the hate crime online.

As we process and discuss this violence with students, volunteers, and our community, we wanted to share some resources that our team has been using:

• Address Anti-Asian Hate Crimes from Anti-Racism Daily
• Teaching About Anti-Asian Racism and Xenophobia from Educators 4 Social Change
• A Literary Guide to Anti-Asian Racism in America from Electric Literature
• The AAPI COVID-19 Project
• Addressing Anti-Asian Bias from Learning for Justice
• The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Asian American Commission
• How to Support Asian American Colleagues
• How We Rise
• Self-Care for the AAPI Community
