A group of Fortune 1000 general counsel and over 40 law firms yesterday announced creation of The Alliance for Asian American Justice, a national pro bono initiative committed to standing up for victims, and preventing future acts, of anti-Asian hate. According to the founders, the alliance will coordinate pro bono resources on behalf of victims of anti-Asian violence and provide other resources such as social services and other community support. Lawyers of Asian descent as well as non-Asian allies are invited to join the effort. The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, and other frontline legal and community organizations will perform initial intake with victims and then refer cases to the alliance. Those with a complaint should report it to the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund at StopTheHate@aaldef.org or on the Asian Americans Advancing Justice website. For more information, email the alliance.
