Discrimination + violence against Asian Americans is up 164% in the past year.

Everyone has the right to feel respected – there should be no rhyme or reason otherwise.n nWe must work together to educate, raise awareness of the discrimination facing the AAPI community and develop actionable programming that tackles bias against Asian Americans. That’s why we’re working closely with organizations including @adl_national @apiavote @goldhouseco among others.n nPartner with us to #StopAsianHate and see our full STAATUS Index results at laaunch.org – link in bion n#LAAUNCH

"The trajectory of Asian American sentiment is going in a direction that we don't want to see," Chen says. "We want to shape that trajectory in a more favorable direction. We can have more role models of Asian Americans for people to see and emulate." - @nlc4laaunchnnFrom @npr interview featuring @go_laaunchnnhttps://n.pr/3uP229rnn#StopAsianHaten#asianheritagemonth

Despite all the recent news coverage of violence against the AAPI community, it’s hard to believe that many Americans are unaware of increased attacks against Asian Americans, including 46% of Republicans and 22% of Democrats.n nThese are just some of the insights we found.n nIn order to fight discrimination against the AAPI community, we need to understand the causes of anti-Asian American bias at the core.n nCheck out the full results and more resources on how to get involved so we can #StopAsianHate together – link in bio (www.laaunch.org)n n#LAAUNCHn#asianheritagemonth
