About this episode
Reports of hate incidents against Asian American and Pacific Islanders have skyrocketed in the past year, coinciding with former President Trump's racist rhetoric.

New York Congresswoman Grace Meng outlines a bill she's introduced to help address the issue.

In participating regions, you'll also hear from local journalists about what's happening in your community.
