With the rise of hate crimes and violence against the AAPI community, it is important to unpack what has been happening during the pandemic and how it started even before. In March 2020, Manju Kulkarni co-founded Stop AAPI Hate, the nation’s leading aggregator of COVID-19-related hate incidents against AAPIs.
Manju shares her personal leadership journey and how her family’s legacy of speaking out has led to her work with Stop AAPI Hate. She is also the Executive Director of Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council (A3PCON), a coalition of over forty community-based organizations that serves and represents the 1.5 million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles County.
