With more and more U.S. political leaders promoting anti-Asian rhetoric and policies, our safety and our rights are on the line. This is why we’re joining forces with @CAAsanfrancisco to launch #StopTheBlame, a national campaign dedicated to stop anti-Asian scapegoating. 🧵
A campaign from AAPI groups is aimed at curbing racist rhetoric in the election cycle
“This anti-Asian rhetoric, many times, has to do with politicians who are trying to outdo one another,” said @RepJudyChu. “They don’t care who they hurt in the process.” https://t.co/IVGe8L32iO
While states like Florida advance dangerous legislation restricting the freedoms of Asian immigrants, California has the chance to do the opposite.
Governor @GavinNewsom, help us win the fight against hate and support the @aapilegcaucus#APIEquityBudget request. 🧵
Stop AAPI Hate mourns the death of 14 year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton, a Black child who was chased, shot in the back and killed after being wrongly accused of shoplifting by Rick Chow, a gas station owner in Columbia, South Carolina. We wholly condemn this act of violence.🧵
New research shows that Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders between the ages of 20 and 49 have the highest death rates from any type of cancer among all racial groups of that age bracket. https://t.co/7NVWh1LS0J
Louisiana is just the latest out of a growing list of states to advance discriminatory legislation targeting Chinese and other immigrants. The bill proposes an unconstitutional, sweeping ban on land ownership and is an outright assault on the rights of immigrant communities.
Gun violence has an undeniable impact on Asian Americans, says @cynthiachoi1 in a recent conversation with @mcdanieljustine@washingtonpost — and as Allen mall shooting has reminded us, we can't afford to ignore it any longer. https://t.co/uiQa7Hvdjj
Millions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have experienced a hate incident, and yet most go unreported. This is why we partnered with @venablesbell on the film #InvisibleNoMore, to encourage people to report an incident, and let their stories be seen, heard, and counted.
24 states are advancing land ownership bans that single out Chinese citizens. This is history repeating itself, and at the expense of thousands of immigrant families.
Thank you, @grace4ny leading the fight against anti-Asian discrimination — in our discourse and our laws.

A year ago, before the Uvalde school shooting, Kimberly Mata-Rubio had never been on a plane or given a speech or scolded a U.S. senator.
But in grieving her ten-year-old daughter, who was murdered in the shooting, Mata-Rubio found her fight. https://t.co/sBOyI8h5Fd
Four of the Texas shooting victims were Asian. Most were people of color. And three were children. The shooter—with alleged neo-Nazi ties—left at least 8 dead and 7 wounded. There are no words to describe the devastating impacts of hate in this moment. https://t.co/3WqdepCSIE
