South Asian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Middle Eastern, and Arab communities are subject to an increasingly hostile climate in the United States, characterized by higher levels of xenophobic political rhetoric and hate violence. SAALT’s forthcoming report, Under Suspicion, Under Attack, documents nearly 160 reports of xenophobic political rhetoric and hate violence within the last three years and identifies trends, impact, and better practices to address these issues. Please join us for this briefing to learn of trends in xenophobic political rhetoric and hate crimes targeting these communities, hear from experts on these issues, and highlight better practices for government, community leaders, organizations, and the media.
