San Francisco’s Chinatown has been the center of attacks on AAPI elders and crimes at businesses, bringing safety to the forefront there.
The misconceptions are wide said Sarah Wan, who is the executive director of Community Youth Center, which also focuses on elders and immigrant communities.
Wan said it can span from trauma to language barriers to concerns their citizenship will be jeopardized. “A lot of times because we worry our language barrier, our cultural barrier, that we will not like to do any reporting and that really hurts the community eventually, because we have no data, no resources,” she said.San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, who attended the event, is reviewing her predecessor’s cases to potentially file hate crime charges, estimating there are more than 30 cases.
“They’ve looked through about half of the cases already. They’re working their way through the second half,” she said. “We want to make sure that they feel safe, that they are safe, and that we want to partner with all the organizations that serve this community.”
