[nyu.us4.list-manage.com]     [nyu.us4.list-manage.com]   Dear Friends of A/P/A Institute at NYU,

We hope that you and all your loved ones are keeping safe and healthy during these uncertain, chaotic times. As anti-Asian racism continues to intensify, we know that for our community, like for so many other vulnerable communities (e.g. frontline workers, the incarcerated, gig laborers, disabled folks, undocumented people, queer people, and many others), this is a particularly stressful and difficult time.

We’ve compiled a list of resources — some specific to NYU and others not — in hopes that they might offer some tangible, material support, as well as emotional comfort. As things change moment to moment, day by day, we know this list isn’t comprehensive, so we’ll continue to share information and resources on our social media channels (@APAInstitute).  Our staff is working remotely, and we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out to us at our individual email addresses or at apa.institute@nyu.edu.

Please take good care during this time. We hope to be able to bring our audience together, and to reflect with you all in the coming months.     Addressing the Rise of Anti-Asian Racism and Resources for A/PA Communities
