Stop AAPI Hate Community-Based Approaches to Prevent and Address Hate Crimes and/or Hate Incidents

Stop Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Hate proposes to implement Stop AAPI Hate Community-Based Approaches to Prevent and Address Hate Crimes and/or Hate Incidents. The purpose is to develop a holistic, multi-disciplinary, trauma-informed, community-based approach to documenting AAPI hate incidents and provide crisis response, care and healing to those individuals and communities affected by hate incidents. Key areas for activities include: data and research on AAPI hate incidents in partnership with AAPI communities; policy advocacy to educate, inform, and provide technical assistance to prevent anti-AAPI hate; community care to partner with communities to center healing and improve crisis response including further work on a landscape analysis of existing resources and models; and strategic communications & digital media to sustain public education and conversations on anti-AAPI hate and scapegoating.  

Expected outcomes include the formation of a multidisciplinary team to develop and evaluate community-based strategies for affected individuals and communities including: the establishment of partnerships with AAPI/Black, Indigenous, and People of Color organizations engaging in community care/healing work; the expansion of Community Healing Pilots; and increased awareness through media and social media engagement around AAPI hate incidents.
