Unifying the Fight Against Racism and Xenophobia

ABOUT US

Founded by Bryan Pham (Founder, Asian Hustle Network), Michelle Hanabusa (Founder, UPRISERS), and Tammy Cho (Founder, BetterBrave), #HATEISAVIRUS started as a grassroots movement to combat racism and xenophobia against Asian Americans fueled by COVID-19. It has since evolved into a nonprofit that aims to engage, educate and mobilize support to combat hate and racism against all communities of color
