Stop Anti-Asian Racism

In response to the rise of hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), health care leaders from RWJBH and Rutgers will discuss efforts to end racism and address health disparities in the AAPI community.

This diverse panel of speakers will share personal experiences, perspectives on the latest upsurge in anti-Asian hate crime and violence, and important efforts that the health care system is taking to fight racism and support the Asian community.
