Responding to Anti-Asian Racism during the Novel Coronavirus Pandemic


​Bookmark this page for new resources released regularly.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resurgence of xen​ophobia, hatred, and racism, Immigrant History Initiative has launched a new initiative to educate the public about Asian American history: #WeAreNotAVirus. We will continue to develop resources to help communities fight against hate.

So far, we've created a free facilitation guide for educators that uses a restorative justice framework to foster empathy and understanding, and an easy 1-2-3 bystander intervention graphic to empower people to speak up when they see racist incidents.
