How Policymakers Can Address the Recent Rise in Anti-Asian Violence How Policymakers Can Address the Recent Rise in Anti-Asian Violence April 12, 2021 Frustrated that neither politicians nor the mainstream media adequately addressed the dramatic rise in anti-Asian violence witnessed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Eda Yu and her partner Myles Thompson created a call-to-action social media campaign, Protect Our Elders. Their campaign has collected over $150,000 in donations for organizations across the country dedicated to uplifting the Asian community. Yu and Thompson’s work to raise awareness regarding the struggles of Asian-Americans is remarkable, but social media alone will not eradicate anti-Asian sentiment. The interest in advocacy for advancing Asian-American rights must be amplified to hold policymakers and institutions accountable for their promises to support and protect Asian-Americans from race-fueled violence and hate.
