How Jemi Creators Are Making A Difference to #StopAsianHate

Jemi was founded in April 2020 as a platform to help creators and public figures interact with their audience and make money. But with the recent rise in anti-asian hate crimes, we’re launching our own #StopAsianHate campaign with Asian creators and allies.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-Asian rhetoric has spread across America. There were over 3,000 reported anti-Asian attacks in 2020 following the beginning of the pandemic and a 1900% increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans. This was not well covered by popular media sources, and we owe it to platforms like NextShark who provided coverage and attention to these incidents. You can find a full list of educational materials here that will provide you with more details and a longer timeline.

As an all Asian founding team, this issue hits home for us. And we’re deciding to use our platform for good. We’re partnering with our community of creators who have decided to donate 100% of their proceeds to various local and global organizations and nonprofits that are providing critical services to the community.
