Abbey Eusebio and her colleagues at the Chinese American Service League have been gathering the data. “Here in the Midwest we have a serious lack of data around anti-Asian hate anti-Asian violence compare to the rest of the country. So, it really is upon our community advocates to really address that head on,” said CASL’s Anti-Hate Action Center Manager Abbey Eusebio. “In order to have the data we’re able to really have a better, accurate picture of actually the scope of the issue.”
