ALT SDB 80th Annual Meeting Poster
ALT As we reflect on the year that has passed since the impact of COVID-19 on our collective consciousness and personal lives, it is imperative that we recognize another grim reality that has erupted from the pandemic. A cultural climate of miseducation, blame and aggression has created an uptick in violence and hate crimes targeting people from Asian communities and individuals of Asian descent.
ALT We want to not only acknowledge and decry this increase in violence, but also condemn all forms of identity-based violence, including those, like in Atlanta, that are anti-Asian, anti-woman, and anti-immigrant. While the shootings in Atlanta are under investigation and no definitive conclusions have been made, we know that such violence happens with alarming frequency. And we know that violence is not just physical assault, but racism and harassment in all forms, both in person and online.
ALT If you see incidents of bias, please use the Bias Reporting Tool to help the university address such incidents. uw.edu/raceequity/updates/bias-reporting-tools In addition, you can educate yourself about hate crimes, read first-hand stories, and learn how to interrupt violence and hate. stopaapihate.org/actnow standagainsthatred.org hateisavirus.org
