John,
We are all deeply disturbed by the horrific attack in Atlanta Tuesday evening that has been devastating for the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in Metro Atlanta and across the nation. As ADL's CEO and National Director, Jonathan Greenblatt, said, "alarm bells have been ringing and hate toward the Asian American and Pacific Islander community has been rising. It is our civic and moral duty to speak out to stop the hate."
Whether this attack was racist violence or motivated by misogyny, the community is living in fear. No one should be scapegoated because of who they are or where they come from. Below, you can find some resources and action items YOU can take to support our AAPI community and fight this hate with us and our coalition partners. Please feel free to share with your networks and reach out to us if there is anything you feel we have left out.
Thank you for joining us in this fight.
Doron F. Ezickson
Vice President, Mid-Atlantic/Midwest Division

Pyramid of Hate
The Pyramid of Hate illustrates the prevalence of bias, hate and oppression in our society. It is organized in escalating levels of attitudes and behavior that grow in complexity from bottom to top. Like a pyramid, the upper levels are supported by the lower levels. Bias at each level negatively impacts individuals, institutions and society and it becomes increasingly difficult to challenge and dismantle as behaviors escalate. When bias goes unchecked, it becomes “normalized” and contributes to a pattern of accepting discrimination, hate and injustice in society. While every biased attitude or act does not lead to genocide, each genocide has been built on the acceptance of
attitudes and actions described at the lower levels of the pyramid. When we challenge those biased attitudes and behaviors in ourselves, others and institutions, we can interrupt the escalation of bias and make it more difficult for discrimination and hate to flourish.

NO HATE Act
The Khalid Jabara and Heather Heyer National Opposition to Hate, Assault, and Threats to Equality (NO HATE) Act is bipartisan legislation designed to improve hate crime data collection. The measure would authorize grants to promote hate crime training, prevention, best practices, and data collection initiatives – and to develop state hate crime reporting hotlines to refer individuals to local law enforcement and support services.
