Responding to hatred

People hold signs in support of Asian American Pacific Islander communities while attending a candlelight vigil in honor of Michelle Alyssa Go, a victim of a subway attack, at Times Square on Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022, in New York. Go was of Asian descent and police said they were investigating whether her death was a hate crime.

The FBI reports that more than 10,000 people last year claimed they were victims of a hate crime because of their race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion or disability. The Anti-Defamation League reports an all-time high of antisemitic incidents in the U.S. last year. We consider the stats and how to respond when you witness or are victimized by hate.
