SAN DIEGO, Calif. â Reports of violent crimes against people from the Asian community continue to come into law enforcement. But efforts are underway nationwide to help the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) community feel safer. Taking public transportation or just walking out in public has been pretty challenging and pretty scary, said Paul Lim, a sophomore at Emory University.
Lim and longtime friend Sydney Trieu created a fund to help provide more transportation options to the AAPI community. Their donation-based fund, San Diego Cabbie, is reimbursing Uber and Lyft rides for Asian women, seniors, and Asians with disabilities. So far, they ve raised over $7,000.
