CRUCIAL DATA ABOUT AAPIs AND
COMMUNITY RESOURCES
In multiple Asian languages and English, the Asian Resource Hub is a free online destination that provides crucial information about the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities within the framework of discrimination and hatred.
It is a collaboration between civil right non-profits Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California (AJSOCAL) and Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC (AAJC) and supported by Microsoft.
The Asian Resource Hub provides a one-stop destination for users to find compiled public data on the AAPI community. It illustrates the scope of widespread anti-Asian discrimination and hate in the U.S. using storytelling narratives and the Microsoft-powered PowerBI data visualization platform based on data collected by StopAAPIHate.org, StandAgainstHatred.org, the U.S. Census Bureau, FBI reports, Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, local law enforcement, and more sources.
The Asian Resource Hub also introduces a searchable resource directory, featuring vetted AAPI community-based organizations (CBOs) that provide low/no-cost and culturally competent and linguistically appropriate direct services. This directory makes it easier for individuals and communities to access essential resources tailored to their own languages and needs.
Some examples of services you can find in the directory include:
- Social service support (ie: basic needs, language assistance, victims services, etc.)
- Legal assistance
- Mental health support
- Opportunities to get involved in civic engagement and policy advocacy
