Stop Asian Hate.

According to a recent study by California State University
San Bernardino, anti-Asian hate crimes in the United States rose by nearly 150% from 2019 to 2020. 
In response, JACL SF commissioned, posted, and distributed banners and posters around San Francisco Japantown to remind all who visit our community that racist violence is not welcome. The banners were designed by the legendary nikkei advertising genius Bob Matsumura and printed by local business Pyramid Printing and Graphics. If you have experienced a hate crime, we strongly encourage you to report it. Please visit this link.

Help Educate Our Community

JACL SF cares deeply for the safety of the elders of our community. In response to the rise in anti-Asian violence in our city, our organization distributed over 500 personal alarms to seniors in San Francisco Japantown, taking care to explain how to use each alarm.
