Rise in anti-Asian hate crimes renews efforts for an Ohio AAPI Commission


Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are the only ethnic group in Ohio without a state-level commission.
Ohio s AAPI leaders have been trying to change that for more than a decade. But with this year s Atlanta shooting and a rise in anti-Asian hate incidents stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, advocates have renewed their push to create the Ohio AAPI Commission. 
I think sadly, the result of what happened in Atlanta is that people have been willing to listen more.

While there s been growing awareness nationally, there s still a line of separation between Asian Americans and other residents on a local level, Hilario, a Hilliard resident, said. In helping educate central Ohioans on the matter, Hilario said events such as the Asian Festival can help bridge the gap.
Through shared commonalities and cultural interests, whether food, dance or music, this year s festival has even more significance given today s societal climate, said Hilario, who serves as the co-director of OPAWL  a statewide group of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women and nonbinary volunteers who organize social-justice initiatives.  ....
