A National Day of Action to Stop Asian Hate organized by a coalition of Asian American groups is set for today, Friday.
The program includes a worldwide one hour vigil originating from Atlanta, but streamed worldwide, beginning at 7:30 Eastern Time today. You can get more information and register at www.326vigil.org.

Hundreds of Asian American organizations from 43 states and territories have signed on to support the event. Participants are being urged to sign a petition urging President Biden to provide emergency relief for the Asian American community.
A virtual and ongoing bystander intervention program is being offered to stop Asian harassment and bullying. AsAmNews originally reported on this last year.
