>>5524504https://hateisavirus.org/resourcesHate Is A Virus stands in active solidarity with the Black community against the social injustices — over policing, mass incarceration, job discrimination, and more — that have been going on for too long. We cannot and will not stand on the sidelines.
If you are protesting today, tomorrow, or in the future, please remember what we’re fighting for and why we’re here in the first place. Center the voices and information of trusted Black and POC activist leaders like BlackLivesMatter, BLD PWR, and Color of Change. Their clear vision, leadership, and strategy for uniting toward social change will help avoid the mistake of unnecessary chaos and indiscriminately venting frustrations. Small community businesses have suffered too much, and we need to care for these pillars of our community. Now more than ever, we need to stand together. Our cause is furthered when we build bridges of support to other communities as well. There is strength in community and making our collective voices heard together. Hate Is A Virus was formed to combat racism and xenophobia wherever they occur: in our AAPI community and beyond. If we choose to remain silent, we allow for oppression to happen and for history to repeat itself. We need to be honest with ourselves and move away from our own deep-rooted biases.
