When COVID-19 first broke out in Wuhan, China, anti-Chinese and anti-Asian sentiment spread almost as quickly as the virus itself across the globe….The Levi Strauss Foundation recently provided a $50,000 grant to Chinese for Affirmative Action for a national website and hotline to document and respond to anti-Asian bullying, hate crimes and violence in the wake of COVID-19. It also meant a lot to me personally to learn that this was the first grant announced from the company’s $3 million commitment to support our communities in response to the pandemic.
