Overview

Stop AAPI Hate conducts research on Asian American and Pacific Islander communities to increase public understanding of who we are, the racial issues that impact us, and the solutions we would like to see.

How do Asian American and Pacific Islander communities encounter and respond to civil rights violations? What is the impact of racism on the mental health of Asian Americans?
