And, during this past year, Asian Americans have been disproportionately impacted both in regards to <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/do\/10.1377\/hblog20200708.894552\/full\/\">illnesses and deaths<\/a> related to COVID-19, and also <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/asian-american-businesses-are-dealing-with-two-viruses-reeling-from-racist-incidents-many-are-hurting-financially-during-covid-19-11613610159\">loss of jobs and economic stability<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From March 19, 2020 to February 28, 2021, <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/secureservercdn.net\/104.238.69.231\/a1w.90d.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/210312-Stop-AAPI-Hate-National-Report-.pdf\">Stop AAPI Hate has reported a total of 3,795 incidents of anti-Asian hate crimes around our country<\/a>, with nearly 45% of those crimes being reported in California. A full 68% of the incidents are reported by Asian women \u2014 and we have no doubt that these numbers under-represent the full reality of harm experienced by the Asian American community. All over California, Asian Americans are feeling the pain, trauma, and fear that these statistics represent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recognize that we cannot make meaningful progress towards a safe and inclusive society without reckoning with our history, and centering the experiences of Asian Americans and BIPOC communities in our pursuit of justice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet again, it is paramount that we repeat loud and clear: hunger is a racial justice issue.
