Powerful piece by @AFSSAustin Executive Director Darlene Lanham that addresses the far-reaching effects of racist hate toward Asian-Americans. As allies, there is much we can do to support our diverse Asian communities in Central Texas and #StopAsianHate.

A1. At first, we worried for our clients & other immigrant survivors who had limited access to support/resources & now were even more isolated. Then reports of AAPI hate grew nationwide--and here in Austin--compounding the crisis. austinchronicle.com/columns/…

We'll be joining the conversation this Thursday at 2pm central time . . . and so should you! #StandwithAAPIs #APAHM2020

Growing racism against Asian Americans adds to an already-dire situation for immigrant survivors of violence. Executive Director Darlene Lanham addresses the issue in today's @AustinChronicle

Too often, survivors must make devastating choices. But AFSSA clients don't have to choose.
