Responding to last Monday’s anti-Asian hate crime, when a man brutally attacked a 65-year-old woman in Midtown Manhattan, Asians Fighting for Injustice held an emergency rally in Chinatown’s Columbus Park on April 3.
The attack was the latest in a string of racist attacks on the AAPI community, which has risen by 800% last year in New York City.
Before introducing Queens Congresswoman Grace Meng, founder of Asians Fighting Injustice Ben Wei admitted that he didn’t pay a lot of attention to politics but that he stepped up to do so in the face of rising attacks on his community.
