AAPI Voices Are Taking To Social Media To Spread Awareness
AAPI Voices Are Taking To Social Media To Spread Awareness To #StopAAPIHate
The rise of Anti-Asian hate speech, microaggressions slurs, and crimes have been up since the pandemic began. However recent events from the Atlanta shooting to the assault of a Bay area Uber driver to Teen Vogue’s hiring of Alexi McCammond and an elderly woman being attacked in Brooklyn has sparked Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) voices to speak up on social media to #StopAAPIHate. The hashtag started via the Stop AAPI Hate initiative that was founded by the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council, Chinese for Affirmative Action and the Asian American Studies Department, San Francisco University.
Although the organizations came together to launch the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020, the hashtag #StopAAPIHate has more recently created a movement across social media platforms to bring awareness, education and resources to the community and its allies. Award-winning journalist and media personality, Xixi Yang, has found that the new generation of AAPI are no longer afraid to speak up about the hate towards their community. “The painful experience of being Asian-American is that we are continuously being asked to “prove” racism. While previous generations have relied on authorities and federal institutions to recognize the threat and enact policy changes, the new generation of AAPI are taking it upon ourselves to “show receipts” by recording hate crimes and exposing the injustice on social media. We’re empowered to use social platforms like Instagram and Clubhouse to organize support groups, provide aid, and pressure those in the position of power to respond. We’re not afraid to rock the boat! We’re not on the “boat” anymore. We’re here and we’re not going anywhere,” shared Yang.
