Michelle Tran was horrified by this spike in anti-Asian violence in New York City and wanted to do something to help her community. Since March 2021, she say her organization Soar Over Hate has handed out more than 25,000 personal protective devices: https://t.co/TPmhdsBPXw

Handed out 500 of our rechargeable personal safety alarms at @ChhayaCDC ‘s Chatpati Mela celebrating South Asian & Indian Caribbean culture! Such an incredible event in Jackson Heights, Queens!

Looking fwd to supporting @ChhayaCDC this Sat. in Jackson Heights! We’ll be handing out personal safety devices for free! Stop by! #Queens #StopAsianHate

[Soar Over Hate @SoarOverHate]

@DragonCombatCl1 We too explain that these devices are legal when we distribute but ultimately it is up to the individual about what they are comfortable with
