4. SOUNDBITE (English) Terry Tang, Associated Press:
"Stop AAPI Hate legitimized fears of a concurrent pandemic of xenophobia. Their data contributed to key legislation such as the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. That time was also a turning point that galvanized groups and young people to engage more in activism within the Asian American community."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Adriano Espaillat, (D) New York:
"The pandemic hit our communities disproportionately – Black and brown and Asian – because of our conditions with diabetes and asthma and respiratory failure. Right. But this is another crime, another pandemic, the hate crimes."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) William Diep, Student Activist:
"Because of Covid and anti-Asian hate, I felt a greater passion to advocate for issues that faced my own communities in student government and activities that I did in high school, such as advocacy and just working with different officials really elevated those experiences and really brought a new light into what I was passionate about, which was Asian American justice, social justice, social justice and fighting for youth."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Terry Tang, Associated Press:
"The pandemic has abated, but Stop AAPI Hate’s data shows that racist acts are still prevalent. Between 2020 and 2023, they collected over 12,000 reports from victims. These included physical, verbal and online attacks. And a 2023 AAPI Data and AP-NORC poll found a third of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders said they experienced an act of abuse based on race or ethnicity within the last year."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) William Diep, Student Activist:
"I take so much pride in my Asian American identity and my Vietnamese American identity and the fact that I come from an immigrant household means that there’s no part of me that can exist without my Asian-ness and my Asian identity. And so with the rollback of DEI and with English slowly becoming the official language, I’m becoming scared that my Asian American identity and other Asian American identities will be erased in this country."
