Politicians in nearly 30 communities across Ohio and in Cuyahoga County are taking a stand against a public health threat that many believe put Black and brown residents at risk for serious health problems: Racism.

In a 10-7 vote, the board voted to replace the measure adopted last year with another resolution.

"The pandemic illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and revealed for all of America a known, but often unaddressed, epidemic impacting public health: racism," Walensky said.

A group representing Asian American neighbors of Ohio’s Republican lieutenant governor says he and his family have agreed to meet with them to discuss their concerns about his recent tweet, which referred to the coronavirus as the “Wuhan virus.”

A surge in anti-Asian harassment over the past year has shed light on the role of the bystander. Two groups have teamed up to offer training on tactics you can deploy if you witness an incident.

Dozens of Asian Americans who live in the same Ohio suburb as the state's lieutenant governor have penned a letter expressing their concerns with his “Wuhan virus” tweet and their fears for the safety of their children.

The White House on Tuesday unveiled actions to reverse the rising violent crimes against the AAPI community. Advocates and Asian American leaders have pressed the administration to do more.

The investigation continues into last week’s string of shootings in Atlanta, which killed eight people, six of whom were of Asian descent. Those killings underscore a spike in anti-Asian violence and rhetoric that has accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic.

Six of the eight people killed last week in shootings at three Atlanta-area spas were Asian American women. Across the country, weekend protests called for an end to racist violence and hate toward Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, a trend that watchdog groups say has been exacerbated by the pandemic.
