Even before Tuesday’s shooting in Atlanta, which left eight people dead—six of whom were women of Asian descent—a study compiled by California State University’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism showed that racist violence against Asian Americans has increased by nearly 150% in major cities across the US in recent weeks. In light of that injustice, there are many things you can do to support the local AAPI community here in Portland, from donating to local causes to shopping from AAPI-owned businesses to visiting arts and culture institutions. Read on below for links, and keep an eye on our activism & social justice calendar for related events.
