Stop The Hate
As an organization that supports the Pacific Islander community, PBD has made it a priority since its inception to commit to meaningful Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders initiatives. These cultures are an integrated part of American lives. We condemn any act of racism and violence and continue to take concrete actions to help prevent racial injustice.
Our Mission
PBD’s mission is to raise public awareness of support and services to Pacific Islander and survivors of hate incidents and hate crimes, and prevention measures. Furthermore, PBD aims to promote community healing and cross-racial and cross-cultural understanding for these historically underserved and underrepresented groups.
Goals
The goal of this campaign is to increase public awareness pertaining to educating, engaging and empowering vulnerable communities about hate incidents, hate crimes, and related topics; reduce the stigma surrounding the reporting and use of services by survivors; partner with community-based organizations; and promote community healing, and cross-cultural and cross-racial collaboration
