Below is a list of resources addressing racism and discrimination against Asian Americans. These resources were compiled by members of the NCFR International Section, Asian American Focus Group, and Korean Families Focus Group. 

Hate crimes targeting Asian Americans have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, linked to a rise in stigma and discrimination against people from Asian and Pacific Island countries.
 
NCFR remains committed to anti-racism and racial justice in the organization and the areas in which we work, and will continue to encourage these efforts among our members.
