Advocacy groups are working to end street harassment against AAPI communities in California

KCBS Radio's Sydney Fishman speaks with Dr. Russell Jeung, chair and professor of the Asian American Studies Department at San Francisco State, and the co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate, a coalition formed in March 2020, to record incidents of violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Jeung was recently named TIME magazine's 100 most influential people in the world for 2021. 

Fishman also speaks with Carl Chan, the president of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, also known as the "mayor" of Oakland's Chinatown, about his experience with assault in Downtown Oakland.
