We often see bystanders during these attacks.
Most of us regularly eat, shop, drink, and relax at Asian-run businesses. We support and enjoy them, but choosing a way to stand for them in the face of hate crimes feels complex or overwhelming for many. As a customer of Asian businesses, hate crimes against Asians are also our business. We want to turn affiliation into action, using something as simple, everyday and mundane as a check to make AAPI people, their businesses, and their allies rally together. |
Introducing
CHECK AGAINST HATE A pledge to stand with the Asian community |
Check Against Hate is a collaboration with Asian-run businesses across NYC to add a pledge to their bills. When a customer signs a receipt, they also take a vow of solidarity.
A QR code will make taking action simple, linking to a platform where supporters can donate and share the message. |
