NAPABA President Cyndie Chang is quoted in this ABA article about NAPABA and other bar groups combatting the current rise in hate of crimes across the nation.

“To provide our membership and the greater Asian-American community with resources to help victims of racism and hate crimes, our organization [NAPABA] has created a toolkit of hate-crime resources for attorneys and bar associations developed over a period of months,” [Chang] says.

The toolkit contains a comprehensive definition of hate crimes, information on how to report one, sources of pro bono legal services and community education, statements from other bar associations, and additional resources.
