Too Long Don't Feel Like Reading? Here is your one stop shop ;-)
At the top of the pandemic last year, there was an increase in public displays of xenophobia. It did not help that public figures in positions of power began utilizing gross terminology for COVID-19 such as the Chinese virus.
As someone in the field of education, my first thought is always “How would I address this topic in my classroom?“ While I am no longer in the classroom, this is still often my first thought.
I shared some resources on Twitter during that time. A year later, hate crimes against individuals in the AANHPI (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander) community continues to rise. As such, I found it important to compile some resources here on my site. Hope this helps!
AWARENESS
EDUCATION
For my educators, here were the resources I shared for fostering classroom discussion with your scholars.
CALL TO ACTION
If you are walker and not simply a talker, here are some resources to help you take action.
Act to Change: Take a pledge to stand against xenophobia on.
Stop AAPI Hate: Donate and/or report any incidents of hate you witness.
