CHINESE AMERICAN SERVICE LEAGUE INC
The Chinese American Service League (CASL) and South Asian American Policy & Research Institute (SAAPRI) will build and lead a coalition of partner organizations focused on assisting hate crime survivors and educating and empowering our Chicagoland AANHPI community on how to report hate crimes and hate incidents. The goal is to create a network of trusted allies that the AANHPI community could rely on. CASL’s Anti-Hate Action Center and SAAPRI have been working to fight and prevent hate in different ways. If granted the additional financial support for planning purposes, together, we would expand the foundation and infrastructure we have built around rapid response and data gathering with a coalition to reach more members of the AANHPI community. We will plan on reaching out to organizations serving different parts of the AANHPI community to invite them to join the coalition and CASL and SAAPRI will convene the group to meet every other month.
