At the Heart of the Matter: The Hate Stops Here: Addressing Anti-Asian Acts
May 20, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities have long endured xenophobia-fueled discrimination – nationally and in Colorado. The racist rhetoric and misinformation surrounding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic fueled a modern, intensified wave of anti-Asian hate and violence. These acts pose a negative and lasting effect on individual and community health. Since the onslaught of COVID-19 in 2020, hate crimes against AAPIs have increased nearly 150%, and there have been 3,800 self-reported incidences of discrimination nationally.
This is unacceptable.
As we continue to explore what it will take to create a new, more equitable normal, join Karen McNeil-Miller, president and CEO of The Colorado Health Foundation on Thursday, May 20 (Noon – 1:30 p.m. MT) for a conversation about complexities within the AAPI communities and what we can all do to curb the rise of discrimination and support their health and well-being.
Learn more about recent and historical discrimination, hate and violence directed at AAPI communities in our blog post, “Standing in Solidarity with Asian and Pacific Islander Coloradans.”
