How Misinformation Fueled the Rise in Anti-AAPI Targeted Violence

DHS’s Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) 8th Digital Forum on Prevention is focused on learning how faith-based and affinity organizational leaders are crucial in preventing targeted violence and terrorism. This Digital Forum will be presented in collaboration with The Asian American Foundation (TAAF), an innovative organization that is working on the front lines of anti-hate and advocacy. This panel will discuss recent reports of a rise in anti-AAPI hate/ targeted crimes, and how misinformation, disseminated largely via online forums and social media, contribute to this rise and what organizations are currently doing to counteract this. Leaders and experts in the frontlines of AAPI-advocacy and anti-hate work will discuss how their organizations are working together, and individually, to stem this tide of attacks and fight misinformation of AAPI communities.
