It starts with you.

Join the effort to protect our community.

Since the start of the pandemic, Anti-Asian violence has been on the rise. Strings of violent and racist attacks sweep the United States as many are harmed for no particular reason. Protect Chinatown stands to protect our community, ensure safety to the elderly, condemn racism, and spread awareness.
