Almost 1,400. That’s the number of reports of physical assault, verbal harassment and shunning received by Stop AAPI Hate in just the two weeks after its official launch on March 19. And this at a time of widespread stay-at-home orders. The PLDIC is proud to join other legal organizations, including the American Bar Association and the Allegheny County Bar Association, in support of the statements of the National Asian Pacifica American Bar Association (NAPABA) and the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Pennsylvania (APABA-PA) and the Anti-Defamation League denouncing the rising incidents of anti-Asian harassment.
These statements are fully supported by the Coalition:
