6th Annual National AAPI Day Against Bullying + Hate

Act To Change is rallying the nation – including cities, elected officials, influencers, and community organizations – around the 6th Annual National AAPI Day Against Bullying and Hate.

May 18, 2024 would have been Vincent Chin’s 69th birthday. Chin’s life was cut short four decades ago in a hate crime where two men brutally attacked him just because he looked Asian.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 11,500 cases of anti-AAPI violence and hate have been reported. AAPI youth face unprecedented amounts of bullying online and offline. Anti-Asian hate crimes decreased for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic – a 33% drop from 2021 to 2022.

Our work of raising awareness and bullying prevention helps to increase tolerance, safety and belonging among AAPI youth.
