Anti-Asian Hate Resource Hub

During the Covid-19 pandemic, we witnessed an alarming uptick in hateful and violent acts toward Asian Americans. Anti-Asian racism and violence, particularly against Southeast Asian American (SEAA) communities, has long existed in US history — from the trauma of the war and bombings of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, to the ongoing detention and deportation of our friends and family members.

SEARAC’s Anti-Asian Hate Resource Hub is a space for community members and allies to learn about, recognize, and fight anti-Asian hate in all of its forms.

Lessons from History

Policing Won’t Stop Anti-Asian Violence—Solidarity Will

(Photo credit: Andrew Caballero-Reynolds)

“At first, the organization focused on what many community members found most enraging: police brutality. In 1986, it joined protests led by Black communities against the police mishandling of Michael Griffith’s murder in New York City’s Howard Beach neighborhood. In 1987, when New York City police beat and arrested the Wong and Woo families in their Chinatown home, CAAAV helped get charges dropped on the families, packing courtrooms and demonstrating outside the precinct. Ensuing cases followed the same pattern: Police arrested the people they victimized, and CAAAV worked for their release. When police killed Asian people, CAAAV endeavored to make sure the cops were convicted.”
