**[Updated on April 27th, 4:55pm]**

Throughout the past year, our communities in the United States and elsewhere in the world have faced extraordinary challenges. Unfortunately, today we continue to face additional challenges, with increased hatred and violence towards our friends, family, colleagues, and the greater AAPI community across the U.S.

Below, the CGCC team has put together a list of resources for the U.S.-China business community to consult in combating anti-Asian racism and hatred.

**Reporting & Documenting Incidents**

The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association's[ Hate Crime Resource Center](https://www.napaba.org/page/HateCrimeResources%26utm_source=homebutton) suggests that individuals who have been victims of a hate crime or have witnessed a hate crime should report these incidents to their local police department first. In addition to local police, incidents should be reported to the local FBI field office and state attorney general's office.
