Failing to support Asian American communities during a resurgence of racial discrimination would be damaging to all communities of color, especially those that have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and subjected to the ills of racism for centuries. About 4 in 10 Black and Asian adults reported increased racial tension since the COVID-19 pandemic began, according to a July 2020 Pew Research Center survey. Comparing the severity of different communities racial history is a diversion from the universal target—white supremacy. Black and Asian communities must work to deconstruct racial biases and amplify each others' voices. We are all in fear.

Overcrowding and mass incarceration in prisons and jails was a grave issue prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now these failures of the criminal justice system can become an unnecessary death sentence.

Schools have an obligation to prioritize students’ mental and emotional health, affording them equitable access to mental health services and mandatory lessons, events and information, whether or not the student is attending virtually or in-person. RSD and MHS must serve as role models and demonstrate that the importance of students wellbeing outweighs their academic performance, so young people may grow to value the importance of self-preservation and self-care.
