Diversity Action Alliance Supports #StopAsianHate
Over the past few weeks, we have seen a resurgence of anti-Asian racism, including the hurling of discriminatory slurs and acts of violence. The Diversity Action Alliance Board and its partner organizations condemn these vile displays of malice. We encourage you to evoke the tenets of the DAA Commitment. Be a steward of ACTion against prejudice and hatred directed at our Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) colleagues, family and friends.
Adopt Best Practices: Implement anti-discrimination policies and mandate anti-racism training for everyone in your organization.
Champion the Cause: Speak out against racism and racist deeds; Speak up for your colleagues and friends who are on the receiving end of both explicit xenophobic ignorance and the more subtle microaggressions.
Track our Progress: If you or someone you know is affected by these disturbing acts, report the incident to https://stopaapihate.org/.
As an organization dedicated to the accelerated advancement of people of color, we stand with our colleagues in the Asian American community affected by these hateful acts. We commit to educating ourselves, signatories and stakeholders on the importance of communicators as exemplars of civility and a collective force for positive change.
In solidarity,
The Diversity Action Alliance Board
