Launched in 2021, the Anti-Hate Action Center is the only center in the Midwest that provides comprehensive services for people who have experienced a hate crime or incident. Powered by the Chinese American Service League (CASL), the goal of the Anti-Hate Action Center is to track and respond to hate incidents, protect AANHPI communities, provide comprehensive support services, and prevent further incidents by laying the groundwork for new solutions. While focused on AANHPI individuals, the Anti-Hate Acton Center has services available to anyone who is a hate crime or incident victim.

Hate crimes and incidents can be incredibly traumatic experiences, whether they are directly or indirectly experienced. Powered by the non-profit Chinese American Service League (CASL) and supported by The Asian American Foundation, the Anti-Hate Action Center is uniquely equipped with the necessary tools to provide holistic trauma-informed care for hate victims and witnesses.

Services Include:

• • Secure reporting of hate crimes and incidents by phone or online form
  • Mental health support
  • Legal consultations and referrals
  • Assistance with filing police reports
  • Guidance for interacting with government entities
  • Referrals to other critical services

The Asian American Foundation

The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) is a convener, incubator, and funder committed to accelerating opportunity and prosperity for AANHPI communities. TAAF supports advocates and organizations committed to AANHPI causes so that together we can more effectively take action against hate and violence, and build the infrastructure needed to improve AANHPI advocacy, power, and representation across American society. We were founded to solve for the longstanding lack of investment and resources provided to AANHPI communities and we strive to be a catalyzing force for creating a permanent and irrevocable sense of belonging for the 23 million Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders living in the United States. Upon our founding, TAAF’s Board raised $125 million to support AANHPI organizations and causes over the next five years — the largest philanthropic commitment in history made by Asian Americans fully focused on supporting AANHPI communities.
