Stop Asian Hate
This past Lunar New Year, a time when we are celebrating our diverse Asian communities, we saw a rise in harassment and violence against Asian elders. Since the start of COVID-19, we have seen a sharp increase in instances of hostility and harassment directed at Chinese and other Asian communities related to COVID-19 stigma and misinformation.
If you have faced harassment or discrimination in housing, at work, or in any public place, contact the NYC Commission on Human Rights by filling out an online form: www1.nyc.gov/site/cchr/about/report-discrimination.page or by calling 212-416-0197. If you are a victim of or witness a hate crime, call 911.
Meanwhile, the City has developed Stop COVID Hate: A Toolkit for Addressing Anti-Asian Bias, Discrimination, and Hate: www1.nyc.gov/site/cchr/community/stop-asian-hate.page#isbioc. This toolkit provides comprehensive resources on how to identify, report, and receive support for hate crimes and incidents; educational material for both bystanders and those targeted by hate crimes and bias-motivated incidents; and infographics, media, and other digital campaigns against hate.
