From the Frontlines: ADL Works to Stop Hate Against the AAPI Community

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and hate in the United States and around the world. The past few years have seen a very troubling rise in hate against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in the United States, and ADL has played a very strong allyship role in fighting against this hate. At the forefront of these efforts is Max Sevillia, ADL's Vice President for Government Relations, Advocacy and Community Engagement. In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, Max was the guest on this show which discussed the scope of the issue, the reasons for this rise in hate, and the ways that ADL has worked with the AAPI community to combat it. Mentioned on the show were educational resources developed by ADL in response to AAPI hate and in celebration of AAPI Heritage Month.

This podcast originally aired as a radio show on WVOX 1460 AM.
