Resources for Activism and Support for the AAPI Community
Seismic Sisters is committed to supporting and embracing the Asian American Pacific Islander community, which has been suffering terribly from a recent wave of racist street harassment and violent attacks. Listening and helping to raise awareness about the unique discriminations they experience, learning about Asian American history, as well as speaking out against anti-Asian hate crimes are important. In addition, as with the Black Lives Matter movement, we need to make a long-term commitment to help fight this scourge of racism and invest in AAPI activist groups and collaborative community allyship. Below is a resource list of projects, events, and groups that are doing important work in this area.

Reporting Center launched in March 2020 by the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.
