STOP THE BLAME! STOP THE AAPI HATE!

 

Dear all Fellow Asian Americans,   Just last week, Seattle’s Wing Luke Museum — a local and national treasure that exhibits Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific American art, culture, and history — was vandalized by a man with a sledgehammer who said that “the Chinese ruined [his] life.” The vandal’s racist remarks mirror the words and actions of a growing number of politicians who are using rising tensions between the U.S. and Chinese governments as an excuse to justify racism and discrimination against innocent Asian people in America.     This is called anti-Asian scapegoating. It presents an enormous threat to our personal safety and our constitutional rights. That’s why today, Stop AAPI Hate is launching Stop The Blame, a national campaign dedicated to ending anti-Asian scapegoating.    Created in partnership with Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), the campaign will mobilize Asians in America and allies nationwide to hold political leaders accountable for promoting harmful anti-Asian political rhetoric and policies. Visit our campaign website, StopTheBlame.org, to learn more, get involved, and join us in the fight against anti-Asian scapegoating. We also encourage you to spread the word and share this campaign with your personal and professional networks!  VISIT THE WEBSITE  https://youtu.be/fgTiiyW-Bmo?feature=shared

Experts say anti-Asian scapegoating will likely escalate as the 2024 presidential election nears — which means our campaign will be ramping up in the months ahead.
