Abstract: This is a statement published by the Asian American Feminist Collective in August 2020 against the creation of an Asian hate crime task force in the New York City Police Department. Signed by other local New York City and national organizations, this statement highlights ways that the task force will not make communities safer, but instead put communities (especially the most vulnerable) at greater risk.
