A video of the incident has been shared widely on social media. According to a report released by Stop AAPI Hate, a project based out of San Francisco State University that asks members of AAPI communities to self-report acts of hate and discrimination, there have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11859965/700-anti-asian-hate-incidents-reported-in-bay-area-during-pandemic-true-figures-might-be-even-worse\">more than 700 anti-Asian hate incidents reported in the Bay Area\u003c/a> between March 2020 and February 2021. Stop AAPI Hate reported at least 3,795 incidents of anti-Asian hate across the nation in the same time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One group decided to take matters into their own hands. Forrest Liu created the \u003ca href=\"https://www.chinatownsafetypatrol.org/\">Chinatown Safety Patrol\u003c/a> after he watched a video of an attack on \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/16/us/san-francisco-vicha-ratanapakdee-asian-american-attacks/index.html\">Vicha Ratanapakdee\u003c/a>, an 84-year-old Thai man who died in January after the attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu said he’s seen the increased police presence while on patrol with volunteers in Chinatown. He appreciates the officers he’s interacted with because some of them are from the community and speak Chinese. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I made a list of some things that have been positive changes since the pandemic happened and also some negative changes to my life. My husband was going to work in the construction industry for a while, and my mom and my dad are in the service industry. Having them be exposed and worrying about them, that has been stressful. Also, just with the layoffs that have happened and having to support the family in a different way, that’s been hard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There have been a lot of things that have come from this. I got married in 2019, so as newlyweds being home with my husband every day, he’s my primary colleague that I get to see. That’s been a lot of fun. I also realize that I have this wanderlust. I want to travel, and I am trying to find love for the Bay Area and discover the history through San Francisco Public Library events or just YouTube channels to make me more grateful for where we are — to grow where we’re planted, so to speak.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“I’ve witnessed the building of multigenerational and multi-ethnic coalitions in a way that I never could have imagined”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_883\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-883\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/77/2021/03/BC-Web-post-inserts-37-800x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Canva stock photography\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’m Lucy Shen and I was born and raised right here in Fremont where I’m actually still living right now. A lot of things have obviously changed during this pandemic. I think the biggest shift I’ve really seen has been an increase in energy and participation and momentum in local organizing and advocacy work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there are lots of reasons for this. The first is that a lot of young people like myself are home now. We’ve moved home because of the shelter-in-place order to be with our family and our parents. And as a result of that, more people like me are beginning to show up and really make our voices heard in local government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The second thing, I think, is the rise in energy and attention on the racial equity and racial justice front. In May and June of 2020, due to obviously very tragic reasons, but the resulting momentum in local organizing has been just magical to witness. Honestly, my concern at the time was that it would be unsustainable, that people would kind of be in it while it was hot or whatever, and then fall off as time went on. But instead, what I’ve really witnessed is the building of multigenerational and multi-ethnic coalitions in a way that I never could have imagined back in 2018 when I was first getting into all this. And it’s really being built in a way that is sustainable because we work a lot to support each other as a community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“I had to make the hard choice of leaving a big part of my community behind”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_864\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-864\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/77/2021/03/11-800x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos courtesy of Kate Montana\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The biggest way that my life in the Bay Area has changed is that I no longer live in the Bay Area. I was a UC Berkeley student from 2016-2020. And I was living in my off-campus apartment in Berkeley up until my less-than-exciting graduation in May of 2020. And I likely would still be living in the Bay Area if it weren’t for COVID. I think that is the case for a lot of folks. I had to make the hard choice of leaving a big part of my community behind and moving back in with my parents in order to save money and sort of with the idea of riding out the pandemic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“We were married in my grandma’s backyard”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_870\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-870\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/77/2021/03/8-800x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jennifer Wong and her new husband, Sam, pose with Jenn’s parents in the background.

We quickly realized this wouldn’t happen after weeks passed during the lockdown. And then I was laid off in May 2020. Blah. But we thought, “Hey, maybe we should just get married online while Governor Newsom’s order was in place!” That way, I could get onto Sam’s health insurance plan too! We ended up filling out some forms online, and the county clerk’s office called to ask if we wanted to get married the next day. Naturally, we asked for a few more days to gather the family together and figure out our technology setup. We were married in my grandma’s backyard and just four family members were present — everyone else watched virtually. And since my grandma doesn’t have a smartphone or computer, it was pretty complicated! Haha.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Drumming has become my antidote to the lockdown”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_865\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-865\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/77/2021/03/12-800x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Susanna Zaraysky\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Once the pandemic started, I was not only stuck at home because of the lockdown, but I was also immobile because I had just had two surgeries on my foot and I couldn’t walk. My friend John lent me his large djembe drum. We met almost weekly outside, socially distanced, to drum. He taught me some basic patterns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once music stores opened in the spring, I bought my African djembe drum that has become my companion and platonic love, providing me a partner in meditation, entertainment and self-discovery. Drumming offers me a way to be musical without words. My brain can take a break.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The meditative repeated patterns in drumming are exactly what I need to get my mind to stop reading and analyzing, and more importantly, to stop thinking about the pandemic. As a kid, I learned to read sheet music both for the clarinet and piano but with drumming, I have to feel the rhythm, follow my intuition and listen to the beat. Feeling like a kid learning a new instrument is fun and brings me back to happier, COVID-19 times. Drumming has become my antidote to the lockdown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“It’s been hard not to share the craziness of parenthood”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_871\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-871\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/77/2021/03/9-800x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Angela Ahedo\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I was six months pregnant when shelter in place was mandated last year.

Life in the Bay Area has changed dramatically in some ways, and in others not at all. My 22‐year education career has typically consisted of significant on‐site instruction, community engagement, and uplifting activities that involve proximity and togetherness.

One relationship that I’ll cherish is with my grandmother, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago. Her death was sudden and especially difficult to process within the confines of the ongoing public health emergency. It was pretty gut-wrenching having to navigate the proper channels and protocols to accept, grieve and mourn her death. You know, during a time where it was so difficult to be physically with each other for support, especially when it came to giving her a proper farewell. But in the end, I found that her passing has brought our family much closer. We had to make some pretty tough decisions that required emotional resolve and an overall belief in public health protocols.

And that’s the driving narrative that I’ve learned through this whole thing, is that life is school where we can use a parking lot as a teacher mechanism or we can go for a walk and it can be a science excursion. Trips to go play soccer often turn into conversations about math. And it’s fun. It’s fascinating.

But also some days that’s painting my nails or talking to my niece and nephew on the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“I’m really grateful that I had this time to reconnect to my spiritual community”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11865302\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/16-800x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11865302\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/16-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/16-1020x574.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/16-160x90.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/16.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Rik Panganiban\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“My name is Rik Panganiban and I work for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/education\">KQED education\u003c/a>. Like a lot of people, everything changed in the pandemic, but the one thing I didn’t expect was that I would go back to church. I’m a member of the Religious Society of Friends, which many people know of as Quakers, and if you know anything about Quakers, one of the things we’re known for is having our worship services in silence. Basically, you just go there and sit in a space with a bunch of other people and meditate together. And then out of the silence, people can speak, but most of the time it’s quiet. I stopped going to Quaker meetings about 10 years ago for a lot of reasons, and didn’t really miss it honestly. Then the pandemic hit and I just felt so lonely and so starved for any kind of community and connection. And I got this email from my home meeting in Brooklyn, New York, saying that they were starting to have Zoom based Quaker meetings for worship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One April Sunday morning, I logged in at 8 AM and basically sat on a Zoom with 100 other Quakers just kind of staring at each other’s little boxes for an hour. And I don’t know what it was, but I just felt so good after that, just felt like, yeah, this is what I miss, being with other people, people who care for me, who are good people. And I’ve been going every Sunday and it’s made a huge difference in my life. I just feel just much more centered. I feel much more motivated to do my daily meditation, to really focus on what’s important to me. So I’m really grateful that I had this time to reconnect to my spiritual community.

Whoo! A lot has changed for me. I had to take seriously my mental health, it’s something I’ve always valued, but I don’t know that I’ve ever prioritized it in the way that I am now. Finding a culturally competent and affordable therapist is serious work, and it took me four months to find one who I feel really comfortable with. And it’s honestly what I look forward to every week. It’s kind of what gets me through the week. Knowing that I have this opportunity to really be fully honest and transparent about everything that’s going on and having a support system that isn’t my partner, isn’t my parent, isn’t my friends, because, you know, we’re all going through different things in our different ways. And it feels good to have someone else be there for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Another thing is I started a relationship, literally one week into sheltering in place, and the first maybe two and a half months was really, really difficult because we could not be near each other in the ways that we were used to. There’s a lot of kinks to work out and figuring out how to stay connected, how to do a lot of the stuff that you would normally do at the beginning of a relationship, but suddenly having to do it virtually was very challenging. But ultimately, I think it was worth it for the health of our families, our own health.

It was a lot harder and easier to cope with grief –harder because I’m used to being surrounded by friends and family and not being able to receive hugs…it was really hard.

And then after the pandemic, hardly anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During the curfews, during the police barricades, downtown, whatever the situation was, I felt very empowered that I had this bicycle that I could ride.

On the bike I felt kind of invincible. And in fact, I’ve never had a problem in almost two years of doing this. But during the pandemic, I would say that I use that time on my bike to feel vital and empowered so I could bring that to KQED and run that board. And, you know, that’s my job – running the board, an operator of the master control and an announcer. And I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised about any of this because being Beth Huizenga and that’s a very Dutch name, Huizenga, we’d say in the old country and Dutch people, I can safely say they love their bicycles.

But instead, what I’ve really witnessed is the building of multigenerational and multi-ethnic coalitions in a way that I never could have imagined back in 2018 when I was first getting into all this.

It was pretty gut-wrenching having to navigate the proper channels and protocols to accept, grieve and mourn her death. You know, during a time where it was so difficult to be physically with each other for support, especially when it came to giving her a proper farewell. But in the end, I found that her passing has brought our family much closer. We had to make some pretty tough decisions that required emotional resolve and an overall belief in public health protocols.

I’m a member of the Religious Society of Friends, which many people know of as Quakers, and if you know anything about Quakers, one of the things we’re known for is having our worship services in silence. Basically, you just go there and sit in a space with a bunch of other people and meditate together. And then out of the silence, people can speak, but most of the time it’s quiet. I stopped going to Quaker meetings about 10 years ago for a lot of reasons, and didn’t really miss it honestly.

And it’s a short ride. Before the pandemic, when I would go underneath the Bay Bridge, you could hear the trucks clattering and clanging really loud, even at 4:30 in the morning. And then after the pandemic, hardly anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During the curfews, during the police barricades, downtown, whatever the situation was, I felt very empowered that I had this bicycle that I could ride. I just feel really appreciative of this thing that got me around, and I felt safe on the bike in a way that I wouldn’t have felt safe just walking in the pitch black dark. On the bike I felt kind of invincible. And in fact, I’ve never had a problem in almost two years of doing this. But during the pandemic, I would say that I use that time on my bike to feel vital and empowered so I could bring that to KQED and run that board. And, you know, that’s my job – running the board, an operator of the master control and an announcer. And I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised about any of this because being Beth Huizenga and that’s a very Dutch name, Huizenga, we’d say in the old country and Dutch people, I can safely say they love their bicycles. And I guess I really connected with my heritage because I just love my bicycle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We know the impacts of COVID will weigh heavily for the upcoming years.
