Stop Anti-Asian Violence.

We stand in solidarity with our Asian American and Pacific Islander staff, Owners, customers, and community. We denounce racism and white supremacy. We recommit ourselves to making Co-op Market a safe and inclusive space for all members of our community.

Like cooperatives everywhere, we embrace Concern for Community as one of our core principles. We believe we all have the capacity — and responsibility — to effect change.

What can you do? Here are a few resources to counter racism, support Asian Americans, and help communities heal.*

• Learn the basics of bystander intervention. This site provides training on how to protect your neighbors and co-workers when bias and harassment occur in front of you. For the basics on bystander intervention, click here.
• Support allies of the Asian community with your dollars. One example is the Asian Pacific Fund’s Solidarity Fund, which specifically goes to organizations working to address anti-Asian sentiment.
• Take a stance on social media. Use the hashtags like #StopAsianHate and #StopAAPIHate.
