BELLS EVERYONE HIT STRATEGIES
RELEASED A SURVEY IN REGARD TO
THE RISE OF ANTI-ASIAN
SENTIMENT HERE IN THE U.S. IT
CONSISTS OF ASIAN PACIFIC
ISLAND AND MIDDLE EASTERN
RESIDENTS IN MICHIGAN AND THE
FINDINGS REVEALED THAT 40% OF
PEOPLE PERSONALLY
KNOW SOMEONE WHO EXPERIENCED
ANTI-ASIAN COMMENTS OR BEHAVIOR
DUE TO THE SPREAD OF COVID
IN AMERICA AND JOINING US NOW
IS ROCHE KNEE NETTING GOTTI
DEMOCRATIC POLLSTER AND PARTNER
AT
HIT STRATEGIES. TRUMP'S USE OF
THE PHRASE CHINESE VIRUS HER
PERCEPTIONS OF THE
ASIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY AND A
P I BOATERS AS WE KNOW TURNED
OUT IN THE 2020 ELECTION
BECAUSE OF THE RISE OF
ANTI-ASIAN RACISM. SO HOW DO
YOU SEE THIS WAY THAT
ANTI-ASIAN SENTIMENT PAX
PEOPLE'S
POLITICAL ATTITUDES, ESPECIALLY
IN A PLACE LIKE MICHIGAN.
>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND
JUST TO TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF
HIT.
>> STRATEGIES IS
A RESEARCH I'M REALLY COMMITTED
TO UNDERSTANDING AND ADVOCATING
FOR UNDERSERVED MANATEE IS SO
WE PARTNERED WITH
MICHIGAN ASIAN-AMERICAN
PROGRESSIVES DO A COMPREHENSIVE
SURVEY OF THE ASIAN AMERICAN
AND MIDDLE EASTERN POPULATION
IN MICHIGAN TO UNDERSTAND THEIR
SENTIMENTS AROUND WHAT WAS
GOING ON IT
2020 ELECTION. WHAT THEY'RE
EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW WITH
INCREASED RACE RACISM AGAINST
ASIAN COMMUNITY AND WHAT
THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT HIM
TERMS OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN
VOTING IN THE FUTURE.
TURNOUT IN THE PAST ELECTION
WAS SO HIGH. IN MICHIGAN
OVERALL TURNOUT INCREASED BY
15%.
IN THE A P I COMMUNITY TURNOUT
INCREASED BY 93% IN MICHIGAN
SO WHEREAS IN 2016 WHEN DONALD
TRUMP WON MICHIGAN BY 10,000
VOTES.
IN
2020 THE INCREASE AND ASIAN
AMERICAN POPULATION WAS 73,000
VETS THEY WERE ABLE TO FLIP THE
STATE JUST BY THEIR INCREASED
TURNOUT.
>> IT'S INCREDIBLE AND I'M
WONDERING FOLLOWING THE 2020
ELECTION NOW THAT WE'RE INTO
THIS ADMINISTRATION. WHAT ARE
SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE
STILL IMPORTANT TO P I
RESIDENTS AND WILL CONTINUE TO
BE SO UNTIL THERE ARE SOME
SOLUTIONS AT HAND.
>> CORONAVIRUS AND THE
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC IT WAS A
BIG DRIVER FOR THE PAST
2020 ELECTION. IT WAS IT WAS
THE TOP ISSUE CONSISTENTLY
AMONG ALL ETHNIC GROUPS ALL AGE
GROUPS ALL GENDERS IN A
COMMUNITY. THROUGHOUT THE DAY
THROUGHOUT THE ELECTION.
FOLLOWING THAT WAS JOBS AND THE
ECONOMY AND HEALTH CARE AND
COURSE RACIAL JUSTICE RACISM
AND DISCRIMINATION. I WAS ALSO
POPPING IN THE TOP 4 ISSUES
CONSISTENTLY, SO HOPEFULLY WE
SEE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE
WITH WITH THE VIRUS GETTING
UNDER CONTROL WITH MORE PEOPLE
GETTING VACCINATED AND HAS
VACCINE
HESITANCY AND THE A P I
COMMUNITY DECREASING DAY TO
WE'LL SEE THAT WE'LL SEE
THE CURRENT CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC BECOMING LESS AND LESS
AND I'M SURE WE CAN FOCUS ON
JOBS AND ECONOMY HEALTH CARE
AND RACISM IN THE COMMUNITY.
>> AND THIS SURVEY ALSO
REFORMS REAFFIRMS THE FACT THAT
ASIAN AMERICANS HAVE BEEN
DISPROPORTIONATELY HIT.
ECONOMICALLY DURING THIS
PANDEMIC WE'VE HEARD IT TIME
AND TIME AGAIN WE'VE SEEN IN
THIS LAST
JOBS REPORT. WHY IS IT THAT
THIS COMMUNITY IS FACING HIGHER
RATES OF UNEMPLOYMENT.
>> I YOU
KNOW THE COMMUNITY IS BEING
VERY
HARD HIT. THEY'RE FACING LIKE
YOU SAID HIGH RATES OF
UNEMPLOYMENT COMPARED TO OTHER
MONDAYS AND YOU
>> JUST THE SENTIMENTS AROUND
WHAT STARRING ON THE
CORONAVIRUS IS IS REALLY
AFFECTING THE COMMUNITY AND
I THINK THE PANDEMIC AND FOLKS
BEING FORCED TO STAY AT HOME.
PEOPLE BEING FORCED TO LEAVE
SERVICE INDUSTRY JOBS OR LEAVE
THE JOBS THAT WERE NOT FROM
HERE AND PUBLIC THIS COMMUNITY,
ESPECIALLY AS BEING VERY HARD
HIT BY THE PANDEMIC.
>> SHE ALSO WANT TO ASK YOU
DURING THIS TIME WE'VE SEEN THE
FOCUS ON THE RISE OF ANTI-ASIAN
SENTIMENT. WE'VE ALSO SEEN
MASS SHOOTINGS THESE ARE REALLY
BIG ISSUES FOR US AS
ALL AMERICANS. HOW DO YOU HOPE
TO SEE BOTH SIDES COME TOGETHER
TO TACKLE THESE ISSUES.
>> NOW THAT IT'S A GREAT
QUESTION AND YOU KNOW OVER HALF
MAYBE I VOTERS IN
MICHIGAN ITSELF. DO WANT
TO SEE
ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN THEY DO
WANT TO SEE GOVERNMENT TAKING A
BIGGER ROLE.
>> AND IN
>> A GUN CONTROL
LEGISLATION SO HOPEFULLY MOVING
FORWARD WITH THE SUPPORT OF IT
THE EYE COMMUNITY AND OTHER
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AROUND THE
COUNTRY WE WILL SEE SEE SOME
LEGISLATION BEING PASTOR
TO. BAN ASSAULT
WEAPONS AND TO MAKE SURE THE
GUNS IN THIS IN THIS COUNTRY
ARE UNDER CONTROL.
>> WE'VE ALSO IN RECENT WEEKS
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AND
HIS ADMINISTRATION WORKING TO
TACKLE ANTI-ASIAN
HATE SPECIFICALLY WHAT MORE DO
YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE DONE IN
ORDER TO SEND A STRONGER
MESSAGE ABOUT THIS AND TO
REALLY QUELL SOME OF THE
ANXIETIES AND CONCERNS THAT ARE
VERY REAL TO THIS COMMUNITY.
>> YES, WE'LL THINKING BACK TO
THE 2020 ELECTION, YOU KNOW
ONLY
50% AN AFP I VOTERS NATIONWIDE
SAY THEY WERE CONDUCT THERE.
THEY CONTACT DID
BUY THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PRIOR
TO THE ELECTION AND ONLY 58%
AND TIE 58% APR THAT ARE SAYING
WHY NOT CONTACTED BY ANY
LOCAL ORGANIZATION ON THE
GROUND LEADING UP TO THE
ELECTION SO ONE THING THAT
DEMOCRATS THAT GOOD A LOCAL
ORGANIZATIONS CAN DO IS JUST
REACH OUT TO A P I SOAKS IN
THEIR COMMUNITY MAKE SURE THEY
HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT THEY
NEED. I WANT LEGISLATION IS
BEING PASSED ON SAFETY
PROTOCOLS ON UNDERSTANDING HOW
TO VACCINE APPOINTMENTS ETC
JUST MAKING SURE THAT THIS
INFORMATION IS OUT THERE AND
THAT'S SOMETHING THE MICHIGAN
HPI PROGRESSES SOMETHING TO
DO ALSO WITH THIS POLL IN
MICHIGAN
UNDERSTANDING THAT COMMUNITY A
LITTLE MORE TO MAKE SURE THE
INFORMATION CAN BE PASSED ALONG
TO THE COMMUNITY.
>> AND AS FAR AS EVERYDAY
PEOPLE WHAT CAN ALLIES DUE TO
BAD.
>> AND SERVED THIS COMMUNITY
THAT IS BEING TARGETED.
>> I THINK WE JUST HAVE TO
THOUGH THE LEVEL OF HATE THAT
IS BEING.
TRADE IN THE COUNTRY THIS IS
NOT A NEW PHENOMENON, IT'S JUST
BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION
OF THE MEDIA VERY RECENTLY BUT
OVER THE LAST
YEAR PLUS AGE AND OTHERS HAVE
BEEN SAYING THEY HAVE BEEN
FEELING INCREASED INCIDENTS OF
HATE BOTH ONLINE AND
IN PERSON SO BEING AWARE OF
WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO
SPREAD THIS THIS AMOUNT OF HATE
AND JUST STANDING UP FOR A
FOLKSY YOU SEE IN YOUR
