Asian Hate Crimes
Task Force
ABOUT:
VISION
To end the recent spike in hate crimes against the AAPI community #StopAsianHate
PURPOSE
To stand against Asian hate crimes through spreading awareness and educating one another
MISSION
The Asian Hate Crimes Task Force (AHCTF) will investigate hate crimes on the Asian American community. The AHCTF will focus on building relationships with victims of hate crimes, in order to bring justice to the offender. It is extremely important to also spread awareness of this issue to the community, especially during this horrific time of Asian Americans being targeted. Education is a key factor in solving this issue, so the AHCTF will host events to educate and spread the awareness about xenophobia, Asian hate crimes, and how to fight against it.
AWARENESS FOR THE AAPI COMMUNITY
We will prioritize in creating a society free of bias, prejudice, and any form of hate crimes. The Asian Hate Crimes Task Force urges the Biden Administration to implement programs to help reduce bias and prejudice incidents across the nation.
