We are excited to announce another Hoops Over Hate youth basketball tournament going down at our upcoming community event on 5/29, Chinatown Rise Up! 🏀🙌🏼
Recently, amidst the drastic uptick of anti-Asian violence and following the tragic shooting in Atlanta, a 13 year old experienced an anti-Asian attack at PS 20 Bowne Park. This led to a response in organizing the first Hoops over Hate tournament in Flushing, Queens. We were floored by the turnout and the sense of connectedness we felt from all participants and volunteers. For 5/29, we hope to bring together families in Chinatown and uplift our youth. The purpose of this event is to create a safe environment for youth and for communities to come together to stand against hate. 💪🏼
Organized by Asians in America Inc & NY Titans with the incredible support of the following partners: Apex for Youth, Protect Chinatown, Chinatown BID ❤️
