In partnership with the Asian American Federation (AAF), KAFSC is proud to stand united against anti-Asian violence and bring safety resources directly to our AAPI community. Together, we continue building a culture of care, resilience, and protection.

More than 2,627 anti-Asian hate incidents have been reported in New York City, many targeting our grandmothers and grandfathers.
