Stand Against Hate

 


 

Join NAPABA in Denouncing Anti-Asian Violence and Discrimination

Since the start of the pandemic, NAPABA and its affiliates have worked to elevate the importance and need to address hate violence and incidents against Asian Americans. Collectively, NAPABA and its affiliates have issued dozens of statements, issued a report examining the rise in hate crimes during COVID-19, and provided direct pro bono legal assistance to both victims of hate crimes and to community-based organizations working with victims. NAPABA’s comprehensive hate crimes resource center is the most prominent aggregate website on the internet, and it has provided critical information to the community.


Hate crimes against the Asian American community is not a new phenomenon and until recently, Asian Americans have largely been left out of national discourse. NAPABA members have directly been affected by hate crimes, and the pernicious nature of hate crimes has shaped our organization.

Today, hate incidents against Asian Americans during COVID-19 have risen to unprecedented levels. Together we will transcend and create a country free from hate.

In April 2020, NAPABA together with seven national bar associations issued a joint statement denouncing anti-Asian hate, violence, and racism related to coronavirus. Together, the legal community, stands united against hate.

Stand Together. Stand Against Hate.

We invite the legal community, the business world, and other organizations to join us as we promote unity during this difficult time.

STAND AGAINST HATE STATEMENT

"The coronavirus is creating challenges for our country, our communities, and each one of us. Unfortunately, some communities like the Asian American and Pacific Islander community are facing the added problem of rising racism and bigotry.”

"Using racist terms like “Chinese virus” and “Wuhan virus” to describe the coronavirus and COVID-19 is inaccurate and unacceptable. Treating others differently, bullying, and avoiding people and their businesses because they are Asian or Pacific Islander is unacceptable. This disease does not discriminate. Discrimination distracts from the problem before us, and only perpetuates unfounded stereotypes.”

"We cannot allow racism to rise as we come together to take on this challenge. As leaders of bar associations across this nation, we are speaking out against hate and bias.”

"We are calling for everyone to focus on unity and denounce anti-Asian attacks, xenophobia, and racist language. Join us and do your part to combat racism and promote unity in response to this challenge."

"We stand together. We stand against hate."
