Stop Asian Hate: Combating Misinformation, Racism, and Online Hate

Stop Asian Hate is a dedicated initiative led by the Foundation for a Path Forward in collaboration with Resilience BC and the BC Anti-Racism Network. Launched in response to the alarming rise in anti-Asian hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the program works to address misinformation, challenge online hate, and advocate for systemic change to protect and empower Asian communities across British Columbia and beyond.

With incidents of anti-Asian hate crimes increasing by 301% in Canada in 2020, the program aims to expose and counter the digital and real-world harms fueled by racism and disinformation. Through livestream events, community engagement, policy advocacy, and partnerships with researchers and digital safety experts, Stop Asian Hate creates platforms for awareness, education, and action.

The Stop Asian Hate initiative brought together experts, activists, and policymakers to explore how anti-Asian disinformation spreads online, how it translates into real-world violence, and what can be done to stop it. The discussions emphasized holding social media platforms accountable, combating hate in gaming and digital spaces, and advocating for stronger protections for vulnerable communities.

Combining the 2021 and 2022 livestreams, the initiative has impacted more than 140,000 individuals.

Stop Asian Hate continues to work towards systemic solutions by supporting victims, educating the public, and equipping communities with tools to identify, report, and respond to hate crimes and online abuse. By fostering collaboration between community leaders, policymakers, and tech platforms, the initiative is committed to building a safer, more inclusive society free from racial discrimination and hate.
