On April 16th, 2020, more than 100 community and business leaders joined the latest installment of the CGCC E-Connects Series - a webinar titled “How to Protect Asian Businesses and Communities from Discrimination and Hate during COVID-19”.

The webinar convened a panel of distinguished experts to  
 discuss the data and causes behind the prejudice, aggression and hate crimes  
 against Asian communities and businesses in the U.S. since the outbreak of the  
 coronavirus, as well as resources for protection and aid. The panelists  
 answered questions from different audience members tuning in from all across  
 the U.S., covering topics ranging from political discourse, interaction with  
 law enforcement, and the responsibility of schools and educators to stand up  
 against the hate.

The panel included **Dr. Russell Jeung**, Chair and  
 Professor of Asian American Studies at SF State University, **Officer Se Chao**  
 of the Port Authority Police Department and the President of PAPD Asian Jade  
 Society, **Karen R. King**, Counsel at Paul, Weiss and Vice-Chair of the  
 Pro-Bono Committee for the Asian American Bar Association of New York and **Luis  
 E. Borunda**, Deputy Secretary of State of Maryland.

CGCC extends great appreciation to all the panelists and participants.  
 We also extend special thanks to CGCC Vice-Chairman Xu Tan and the CGCC-D.C.  
 team for successfully leading this webinar.
