Ever since the pandemic started, APN has covered the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes that followed. Given that our crew is mostly Asian, the attacks on the AAPI community have made the media coverage that Apache News does on this development very personal. In light of the situation’s gravity, Lawrence decided to sit down with Kathy Liu and Swetha Somasundaram to take the time to reflect on the whole thing, as well as how to progress forward not just as individuals, but as a society. #stopasianhate

APN thanks the Arcadia Civic Youth Council for providing the materials that were used to guide this discussion—materials that were from ACYC’s virtual Stop Asian Hate Dialogue. Watch the recording of the speaker sessions here: www.tinyurl.com/stophatearcadiavideo
