（Boston Orange編譯）亞裔基金會（The Asian American Foundation, TAAF）與亞裔促進正義會（Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC）9月17日在華府（D.C.）宣佈合作，由TAAF資助AAJC，為「安全國家網路」（Safety National Network）旗下近50個團體提供培訓與技術支援，提升因應反亞裔仇恨的能力。
AAJC 將憑藉長期處理民權案件的經驗，為各地組織提供仇恨事件的即時應變指南與轉介培訓，定期分析仇恨趨勢與聯邦政策，並針對個案處置、社群教育、公關及民權問題提供一對一支援。
TAAF 執行長陳國禎（Norman Chen）與 AAJC 總裁暨執行董事楊約翰（John C. Yang）指出，直接服務社區的基層組織常需在第一時間處理危機，急需長期資源支援。TAAF 在 2021 年疫情高峰期成立的「安全國家網路」，旨在提供緊急救助與保護，並強化追蹤應變與預防，從 2023 年以來，已在 14 個都會區服務逾 10 萬名民眾。雖然社會大眾對反亞裔仇恨事件的關注在疫情後有所減退，但亞裔社群仍持續遭受仇恨與歧視，且除了傳統的種族偏見外，近期更受到反移民以及針對南亞裔言論升溫的影響。
TAAF 的 2026 年「STAATUS 指數」顯示，逾 20% 的亞裔及太平洋島民在過去一年中曾遭遇種族騷擾；AAJC 分析 FBI 數據也顯示，2025 年反亞裔仇恨犯罪率仍高達疫情前的 2.5 倍以上，顯示目前亞裔面臨的威脅依然嚴峻。兩機構盼藉此合作，為全美亞裔建構更完善的安全防護網。
The Asian American Foundation and Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC Announce New Partnership to Strengthen Community Safety
Collaboration will equip nearly 50 organizations in TAAF’s Safety National Network with training, resources, and technical assistance to more effectively respond to anti-Asian hate, discrimination, violence, and profiling.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) and Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC (Advancing Justice – AAJC) announced a new partnership to bolster the capacity of nearly 50 organizations in TAAF’s Safety National Network, a coalition of leading national, regional, and local groups responding to anti-Asian hate, violence, discrimination, and profiling.
Through a grant from TAAF, Advancing Justice – AAJC will provide organizations in the network with training and technical assistance to strengthen their ability to respond to hate incidents and emerging threats. Drawing on Advancing Justice – AAJC’s civil rights expertise, the collaboration will also ensure TAAF’s partners have the resources needed to navigate long-term challenges as historic patterns of anti-Asian prejudice and scapegoating continue to impact Asian American communities.
“As we mark five years since the creation of TAAF’s Safety National Network, we remain committed to investing in the frontline organizations that are providing direct services and critical resources to communities across the country,” said Norman Chen, CEO of TAAF. “The alarming rise in anti-Asian rhetoric and incidents in recent months, paired with the findings of TAAF’s State of AAPIs research on the safety of Asian Americans in key cities, underscore the need to bring new resources and support to our partners on the ground.”
“Community organizations are at the front lines when it comes to helping people who experience hate or discrimination, and they need the tools and support to respond effectively,” said John C. Yang, President and Executive Director at Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC. “This partnership with TAAF will help us strengthen the capacity of trusted organizations across the country to better respond in the immediate aftermath of an incident and build the knowledge and infrastructure necessary to protect our communities for the long term.”
As part of the partnership, Advancing Justice – AAJC will provide organizations in TAAF’s Safety National Network with:
Practical guidance for local organizations responding immediately after an incident of hate, violence, profiling, or discrimination;
Tailored trainings on how organizations can connect community members to appropriate support;
Updates and analysis on anti-Asian hate trends, emerging risks, and federal policy developments; and
One-on-one support for incident response, community education, communications, civil rights concerns, and referrals.
TAAF launched the Safety National Network in 2021 to deploy emergency relief to victims of anti-Asian hate incidents at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to improve incident tracking, protection, response, and prevention measures. Since 2023, members of the network have served over 100,000 community members across 14 metropolitan areas.
But while public focus on anti-Asian hate incidents has faded since the pandemic, Asian American communities continue to face hate and discrimination, fueled not only by anti-Asian bias but also by escalating anti-immigrant and targeted anti-South Asian rhetoric. According to TAAF’s 2026 STAATUS Index, over 1 in 5 Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders reported being insulted or harassed because of their race in the past year. And per Advancing Justice – AAJC’s recent analysis of the FBI's Hate Crime Statistics, anti-Asian hate crimes in 2025 remained elevated more than 2 ½ times more than before the pandemic.
