LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â A Lexington business owner is hoping to turn the conversation about anti-Asian violence into action following reports of a spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans.
A campaign that first started in 2019 to spread the message Immigrants & Refugees Belong Here has been relaunched, according to Dan Wu, owner of Atomic Ramen and community organizer. We live here. We re Lexingtonians, we re Kentuckians, we re Americans, Wu said.
T-shirts with the image, created by Cricket Press, can be purchased through this week with proceeds going towards the Kentucky Equal Justice Center s Maxwell Street Legal Clinic, which offers help with immigration cases.
