For anyone trying to keep count, there have now been at least 7 attacks against Asian American New Yorkers in the last 10 days... that we know of. At least 9 so far in 2021. #StopAsianHate #StopAsianHateCrimes #StopAAPIHate

🚨 Leaders - Your Asian employees are scared to go to the grocery store, terrified for their elders, and perplexed by why you’re silent right now. If you've spoken up for Black lives or are celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth, you must also pull up for Asian EEs today./1

This week a Thai American was MURDERED, a Viet grandmother was assaulted & a Fillipino American was slashed across the face. Mainstream media does not spotlight our stories. Racism Kills. @CNN @MSNBC @maddowshow @andersoncooper cover us! We are dying to be heard. #justiceforvicha

The amount of hate, racism, and blame for COVID towards the Asian community is disgusting. The fact that this topic is not very widely covered makes me concerned. I only found videos and information because I was scrolling through my IG feed and by some algorithm it appeared.

🧵In January, our then-new CEO asked if we should have a Rooney Rule to increase racial diversity in hiring. (Yes, she’s a dream.) Here’s how I approached the question & what I’m thinking now in case it’s helpful as you consider new #DEI policies for 2021./1

Donald Trump will go down in history not just as a racist, sexist, xenophobe and religious bigot. He will be remembered as a demagogue who, more than anyone else, attempted to undermine the rule of law and destroy American democracy. He will not be missed.

BREAKING: With all states called, @JoeBiden has won Georgia, bringing his total number of Electoral College votes to 306! 🎉
This election proved that #UnityWins, and now it's time we keep up the momentum to achieve a pro-equality Senate majority come January 5.

Lots of people are rediscovering and re-sharing this post this morning, so I’m putting it again here.
Listen to @esglaude. Really take in his words.
The work we have ahead of us is deep, and transcends elections. It always has been. And we are called to do it.

Trump's remarks "suggest that he thinks that it is men who belong in the workplace and that women all are or should be married," writes @karaalaimo. "I suspect that women will respond on Tuesday by putting Trump in his own rightful place" | @CNNOpinion cnn.it/3e4noYO

Our vote isn’t just one for ourselves, but for our community.
We can't let Trump and entire Republican Party get away with their corruption and hypocrisy any longer.
In my state of Minnesota, we have been working to mobilize a record turnout, and every state can.
Please vote.

Tomorrow we are having a rally because:
✅ Seeking asylum is an international right.
✅ Separating families isn’t “good” but cruel.
✅ Immigrants get the job done.
Spread the word and join us.

Trump's debate performance was riddled with false claims, on topics ranging from Covid-19 to foreign policy and immigration. And while Biden made some missteps and stretched the truth at times, his comments essentially hewed to the truth. #Debates2020 cnn.it/35oA2Op
