Stand with Asians was formed in February 2021 during the wave of Asian hate crimes that swept across America. One of the co-founders of Stand with Asians learned that his friend was the victim of a brutal stabbing in Manhattan Chinatown.
Starting with a blog post, friends, allies, and strangers rallied to form the Stand with Asians movement. Less than a month later on March 26, they launched the March 26 Awareness campaign.
The volunteer group worked so well together with so little central coordination that they began to think about how to make a long-term impact together for the AAPI community.
