For her own safety, Lee moved out and sought help from St. John’s Community Health. Staff provided critical legal and emotional support: organized her documentation, helped her present her story in court, provided legal aid referrals, and assisted in drafting legal responses to opposing counsel. 🙌

Lee, a Burmese resident of San Pedro, endured continuous, anti-Asian harassment from her landlord. He severely violated Lee's rights by illegally entering her apartment, stealing her furniture, kidnapping her dog, and physically assaulting her disabled roommate. ➡️

George’s #CommunityVoices story reminds us that workplace harassment is never acceptable. Partners like KFAM ensure that our community members have the resources to stand up for their rights. With Stop the Hate funding set to expire on June 30th, the future of these vital resources is at risk.

When George finally turned to his supervisor for help, he was met with a dismissive response. George then contacted @kfamla, where he received counseling in Korean. They helped him develop the tools to manage workplace stress, advocate for his own safety, and understand his rights as a worker. 🙌

George was doing his job at a local grocery store when a regular customer began targeting him. What started as hateful comments about his eyes and skin color turned into a seven-month streak of harassment. ➡️

Ali’s family found a lifeline through @cairgla, who stepped in to advocate for Ali’s safety, successfully expediting a school transfer within just 24 hours. Today, Ali is back in a familiar environment, surrounded by support and slowly beginning to heal. 🙌

Stop the Hate Los Angeles @stopthehatela.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Despite reporting the harassment, Ali was met with silence. The school failed to take him seriously or notify his family, and the violence intensified. It culminated in a physical assault that left Ali with a broken clavicle, and a fear so deep, he could no longer step foot on campus.

Stop the Hate Los Angeles @stopthehatela.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Ali was trying to settle into his new high school when he became a target of hate. He was mocked for being Afghan and told to “go back to his country”—a situation that only escalated when bullies threw his belongings in the trash. ➡️
