The Center for Asian Americans in Action uses policy and community building strategies to address anti-Asian violence and discrimination, and to strengthen multi-racial partnerships. We serve on OC Human Relations‘ Hate Prevention Taskforce and work closely with community-based organizations throughout Orange County and the state to improve prevention and victim assistance services and to cultivate safer and more inclusive spaces for all vulnerable community members to thrive.

Tools for Cities to Take Action Against Anti-Asian Hate
Asian Americans in Action has drafted model resolution language for cities that want to take a stand against anti-Asian hate AND take concrete actions toward creating a safer and more inclusive environment for all communities.
We’re issuing a challenge to all OC city elected officials to adopt strong resolutions against anti-Asian hate before the start of May, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Find out if your city is on the list and taking action to stop anti-Asian violence and racial violence of all forms.
