Protect Asian Americans
1. Compassion in Oakland - Support our Elderly
Compassion in Oakland is a movement for the community to come together to support our Elderly Asians. It was formed in response to the surge of anti-Asian attacks -- particularly in California’s Bay Area. Hundreds of volunteers have come forward from all across the Bay of all different backgrounds, to stand against AAPI hate.

From the Asian American Federation, these safety resources, created in collaboration with experts from the Center for Anti-Violence Education, teach targeted individuals how to de-escalate threatening situations and defend themselves in the event of anti-Asian violence. The flyers in 5 Asian languages offer strategies to help individuals safely intervene if they see someone being targeted or to use verbal and/or physical methods to safely exit a threatening situation.
