Since 2020, many AAPI Americans have been attacked on account of their race. All of them had to think about whether to report to the authorities what happened to them or not. Without engaging with law enforcement, Asian victims have been repeatedly told that the harassment and attacks will not stop. But what is the experience of reporting for victims? What does reporting lead to? Does it achieve any good? Does the criminal legal system provide meaningful redress for AAPI victims? Join us to hear directly from survivors themselves and from the pro bono attorneys who assisted them through the process. Learn also about the main findings of the Endless Tide report released in May 2022 by the Anti-Asian Violence Task Force of AABANY. Unlike any other study, it seeks to answer these important questions by tracing what happened in police investigations and in the criminal courts to reports of possible hate crimes committed against AAPI New Yorkers.
