It contains powerfully perspective and illustrates various concepts and tools through personal stories and guided reflective practices.

<aside> 👉 In 2020 and continued through 2021 the US has seen an extreme spike in violence against Asian Americans.

Here is high-level advice for how Non-Asian American friends and colleagues can engage and show support.

First and foremost, acknowledge. Checking in with AAPI peers, showing you're aware of the news, demonstrating care for their wellbeing, and offering specific forms of help.

Asking someone an open-ended question can create an emotional burden for the recipient in their response. (open-ended meaning things such as: “how are you feeling?” or “is there anything I can do for you?”)

Instead, as a coworker, you might acknowledge that the news is distressing, and then offer to take a meeting off their plate, extend a deadline or pitch in on a project. Let the person impacted dictate how they want to do their work, and at the same time be explicit in your offer of support based on what they need. (source)

More you can do:

  1. Acknowledge, amplify, and denounce the ongoing anti-Asian hate crimes.
  2. Interrupt anti-Asian racism and anti-Black racism.
  3. Interrupt generalizations.
  4. Interrupt the active and persistent erasure of Black and Asian solidarity work.
  5. Invest in community-based interventions.
  6. Practice being Anti-Racist (source with more details)
