"A matter of life and death" - @kellyyanghk speaks about the urgent need to #StopAsianHate & the history of racism that can not be ignored. Child's Play NY will not tolerate hatred, hate crimes and white supremacy. Upcoming camps donated to the cause.
Our country has a LONG history of scapegoating immigrants and people of color. I went on @nbcbayarea to share my thoughts on the recent atrocities against Asian Americans—please watch, share, talk about it, check in w your AAPI friends, amplify our voices! 🙏💔 #StopAsianHate
