AAPI Equity Alliance is the Los Angeles County Regional Lead for the State of California’s Stop the Hate grant. Administered through the California Department of Social Services, this grant funds 80 organizations throughout California to provide direct services, prevention services and intervention services for victims of hate.
In Los Angeles County, 24 organizations were awarded a total of $4 million to develop and provide services and programs to combat hate. Although many of these organizations were founded to serve the Asian American community, their focus has also extended to other ethnic and racial groups in their local area.
