#absolutely terrified of my filipino mom going anywhere alone now tbh

[witchern]

i don’t usually post super-serious stuff on my blog (my blog is a dumpster fire first and FOREMOST) but if you haven’t heard yet, 8 people were killed in shootings at 3 different massage parlors in georgia tonight. most of the victims were asian women.

anti-asian hate crimes have risen by nearly 150% in major US cities since last year, thanks to the prejudice against our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. i know pretty much everyone’s financially hurting right now, but if any of you could spare a dollar or two for one of these great orgs working to combat anti-asian racism, it’d really mean a lot. and if not a donation, at least spread the word:

⭐️ stopaapihate.org ⭐️ advancingjustice-aajc.org ⭐️ stop asian hate (gofundme)

and here’s a carrd for anti-asian violence resources that includes more donation links as well as educational resources, petitions, mental health resources, and more.

our community is scared and heartbroken, so thanks in advance for whatever you’re able to contribute or share 💕

(and please feel free to add more links and resources that you find!)
