Anti-Asian Racism: What You Can Do to Help
A RISE IN ANTI-ASIAN HATE CRIMES
This time last year, before COVID-19 made its way to NYC, we witnessed xenophobia’s impact on Chinatown, a place of historical and cultural significance for Asian Americans. We founded our organization because anti-Asian sentiments and attacks exposed our community’s vulnerability to discrimination alongside systematic oppression that prevents fair access to resources such as aid and capital. Though anti-Asian sentiments have risen over the past year, they are not new.
去年的这个时候，在新冠肺炎席卷纽约市之前，我们目睹了仇外心理对中国城的影响，中国城对美国亚裔居民来说是一个具有历史和文化意义的地方。我们成立这个组织的初衷之一就是反亚裔情绪和亚裔屡次受到攻击暴露了亚裔社区更易受到歧视的事实，同时亚裔社区也面临着系统性的压迫，相比较其他族裔，亚裔无法公平的获取援助或资本等资源。反亚裔的情绪在过去一年有所上升，但是对亚裔的歧视并不是一个新现象。
A report by the Asian American Bar Association of New York shows hate crimes against Asians in NYC increasing nearly tenfold in 2020, and yet there have been no reported convictions as of February 2021. Zero. And still these racist and violent acts continue to plague our communities all around the country.
纽约亚裔美国律师协会的一份报告显示，2020年纽约市针对亚裔的仇恨犯罪增加了近10倍，然而截至2021年2月，还没有任何定罪报告——被定罪的人数是令人震惊的“零”。而这些种族主义和暴力行为仍然在继续困扰着我们全国各地的社区。

A 91 year old man in Oakland was pushed to the ground. The perpetrator has since been arrested.
An 89 year old woman was set on fire in Brooklyn, NY.
Noel Quintana, 61, was brutally slashed across the face in Manhattan.
…and more in recent weeks, along with the past year, both reported and unreported.

......还有更多的事件曾经发生，并且正在发生。这些事件或许会为人所知，而更多的可能连新闻报道都不会有。
According to Stop AAPI Hate over 2,800 cases of anti-Asian incidents have been self-reported in New York City at the end of 2020. The numbers don’t lie; the most vulnerable members of our communities are being targeted by racists and bigots. These violent acts were exacerbated by ignorance and the inflammatory rhetoric of the past presidential administration, which used hateful terms like “Chinese virus” and “Kung Flu” in reference to the COVID pandemic.
根据 "Stop AAPI Hate"组织的数据，截至2020年底，纽约市民报告了超过2800起反亚裔事件。数字不会说谎，我们社区中最弱势的成员正在成为种族主义者和偏执者的目标。这些暴力行为因无知和上届总统政府的煽动性言论而加剧，上届总统政府在提到新冠肺炎大流行时使用了 "中国病毒" 和 "Kung Flu" 等仇恨性词汇。
LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD
Activists, public speakers, influencers and celebrities are speaking out against anti-Asian violence, which helped tremendously in garnering much needed media attention in the current news cycle. However, we cannot rely solely on influential star power—change requires each and every one of our voices, and we are asking for solidarity and support from all communities to raise our voices together. We must continue reporting these incidents, to make sure that we protect our elderly, and to ensure justice is served for those who have been victimized. Speak up! Your voice matters!
活动人士、公共演讲者、有影响力的人士和名人都在公开反对反亚裔暴力，他们的发声让媒体更加关注这一话题。然而，我们不能仅仅依靠有影响力的人士的力量，改变需要我们每一个人的声音，所以我们希望能得到所有社区的声援和支持，一起发出我们的声音。我们必须继续让这些事件让更多人知道，以确保我们能够保护我们的老人，并确保能为受害者伸张正义。重要的事情说三遍：您的声音很重要！您的声音很重要！您的声音很重要！
