HATE CRIME RESOURCES

Asian Resource Hub - This innovative resource serves a dual mission: 1) to highlight the surge in anti-Asian hate through comprehensive data gathered from various sources (surveys, hate trackers, law enforcement, and public records), and 2) to provide a searchable national directory of culturally competent, linguistically accessible services for AAPIs in need.

By condensing data into one multi-lingual destination, the Asian Resource Hub aims to be a place where visitors can not only explore the complexities of anti-Asian hate but also find help more easily from organizations like AJSOCAL. The website is currently available in Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), Korean, and Vietnamese.  

The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) has a nationwide network of nearly 90 affiliate organizations, and is an intake provider for the Alliance for Asian American Justice. NAPABA wants to ensure that local communities have the tools they need to address hate fueled attacks.

Combat Hate Crimes Toolkits - NAPABA and the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) have collaborated on a hate crime/incident toolkit that provides basic and critical information for victims, community based organizations, and community leaders.
