Resources For Personal Action Against Anti-Asian Racism, Violence and Rhetoric in the U.S.
We denounce all hateful acts of violence. The recent shooting deaths in Atlanta and the escalation of violence and hate against Asians and Asian Americans nationwide is a reminder that we have much work to do to dismantle racism and ensure that all people can live in safety and freedom.
At Furia Rubel, we re-commit to expanding our understanding of racism and learning to be true allies, and we stand with those who still live with the toxic impacts of bias and racism every day. With this in mind, we have compiled resources to help readers stand up against violence and rhetoric against Asians, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders.
In Philadelphia, we have a vibrant Asian community. A local writer put together this list for ways to support the community: https://www.thrillist.com/lifestyle/philadelphia/how-to-support-the-asian-american-community-in-philadelphia
