#STOPASIANHATE

Educators are very knowledgeable when it comes to building community. We tend to cultivate positive relationships among students and create welcoming, safe, and supportive learning spaces that are accepting of all cultures, languages, and identities. While educators can offer the space to hold conversations, there are other ways to show support for the AAPI community that has contributed so much to politics, military, medicine, aviation, entertainment, and sports in the United States.
