I LOVE that you are using your talents as a maker to create something so meaningful. Thank you for helping make our world a better place Tang! Did you do this video yourself too? What made you make it an app?
@mdorsett In regards to the app itself, I wanted to tackle this problem for a while now, having experienced over a dozen incidents myself growing up, I just never had a good solution until coverage of the blm movements seeded the idea of heterogeneous groups working together to solve a problem. The "#StopAsianHate" movement allowed us to capture enough market research to understand the perspective from a bystander point of view.
Hate crimes are escalating in North America since the pandemic, and even with more legislation, crimes steadily been rising.
Following up with the awareness and momentum created various organization, could we be the generation that works together to eliminate hate?
