President Joe Biden has committed funding to the Asian American and Pacific Islander community to protect against violence, hate, xenophobia as well as COVID-19 and inequity.
Two weeks after the metro Atlanta shootings, the White House announced an updated plan Tuesday in its response to anti-Asian hate.
“I’m going to watch, and I’m going to wait and see how this is done,” said Sue Ann Hong, president and CEO of the Center for Asian Pacific American Women.
Questions she still has include which community groups will get the funding.
The plan includes setting aside $49.5 million to organizations that support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. It also creates a task force to address xenophobia around COVID-19 and a U.S. Department of Justice initiative to respond to anti-Asian violence. It also allocates $33 million for research into bias.
