The following are some ways you and your community can get involved and put lessons learned from Who Killed Vincent Chin?and your discussion into action. If the group is having trouble generating their own ideas for next steps, these suggestions can help get things started. The examples below are adapted from Legacy Guide: Asian Americans Building the Movement by Helen Zia and Vincent and Lily Chin Estate.

Have participants think about what action they themselves can take. Ask volunteers to share what they will do to take action.

• Be prepared for anti-Asian incidents.Take an online training with Right to Be on bystander intervention, preventing and responding to harassment, and/or resilience.
• Call on national, state, and local leaders to publicly condemn and take action to stop anti-Asian racism and halt the recent drastic increase in anti-Asian hate incidents. Support and elect leaders who do; encourage others to register and vote as well. Find ways to call out, educate, and address racism, whether through organizations, letters to companies and advertisers, visits to elected officials, or through media, to make it clear that there will be consequences for anti-Asian hate.
• Support solidarity movements of people of color and people of conscience to fight systemic racism and other forms of institutionalized inequity.Support ways to fix the broken safety net to address mental health, health care, housing and food insecurity, and language access and to seek solutions of restorative justice.
• Demand that your state include curricula about Asian Americans at the K-12 levels.
• Amplify the voices and stories of historically marginalized communities, including immigrants and refugees. Use your social media, letter writing, and other platforms to lift up the diversity of those whose lived experiences have helped to build America. Educate that Asian Americans are Americans, that they are not “perpetual foreigners.”
• Help your local Asian American community by reaching out to an Asian American service organizations in your community. Research online (See Resources list). If you live in an urban area where there are Asian ethnic enclaves (i.e., Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Saigon, Japantown), look up organizations there. Check in with an organization for volunteer opportunities to assist with anti-Asian violence or any other support.
