Nearly 75 percent of Chinese Americans reported discrimination in the past year, a study by Columbia University and the Committee of 100 shows.

Close to half of participants reported being treated with less respect than others and over a quarter experienced bias or hate. This comes as the FBI reported that AAPI hate crimes have grown in 2021 rather than declined, as they initially reported. Hate crimes in San Francisco grew by 567% and between March 2020 and March 2022, Stop AAPI Hate recorded 11,500 AAPI hate crimes nationally.

We are humbled to be honored by MBP Manhattan Borough President Mark D. Levine and AM Assemblymember Grace Lee 李榮恩 in the Breaking Barriers event. As a grassroot organization, there is a limit to what we can accomplished and what we managed to do really would not be possible without the support from many organizations, such as and elected officials such as
