Spring into Action: Support the Asian America & Pacific Islander Community
In honor of recent events of hate, we now more than ever are supporting local AAPI-owned businesses
Spring into action and help support those who have been disenfranchised by the COVID-19 pandemic that sparked completely unwarranted boycotts of Chinatown restaurants and shops around the globe, as well as the uptick in violent hate crimes against the Asian community. While the restaurant industry as a whole has struggled throughout the pandemic, Asian restaurants (and businesses) have been hit particularly hard and have been subject to racist attacks due to the xenophobic fears surrounding the coronavirus. Show your support by visiting or ordering takeout from AAPI-owned businesses in your community. Below are a few of our agents and staffs top picks.

Do more
Being empathetic is not enough. Take action by supporting those being attacked by educating yourself on what to do when you see a hate crime being committed, and by donating to groups that support those who have been subject to these unfounded hate crimes.
EDUCATE YOURSELF
Hollaback!, an anti-harassment organization, has partnered with Asian Americans Advancing Justice to provide free bystander intervention training that will give you the tools to step in if you witness anti-Asian harassment.
DONATE TO STOP HATE
Stop AAPI Hate compiles reports of hate crimes against the Asian community throughout the U.S., provides support to victims of these crimes, and produces reports on these incidents that help advocate for social and political protections for the community.
