How's everyone been doing? It's been quiet in the comm since the last check in, but I'm sure you've all been busy with all the good stuff you've got into doing over the last four years.
Our one post in the last month was about making Donations In Honor Of Lives Lost In Atlanta. I've been seeing a lot more comments since then with anecdotal evidence of attacks on/harrassment of members of the Asian community. (I suspect not because attacks are becoming much more frequent or severe but because they're being discussed more.) So it may be something you want to look into in your area, to see what support you can offer.
Don't be shy of making your own posts about any other issues and actions you think the comm should know about, or dropping some information into a comment to our sticky post if you'd like the mods to do it.
Meanwhile, use our poll (behind the cut) to tell us what you've been doing in the last few weeks and tell us in comments what you plan to do next.
