To my non Asian fam in case you’re at a loss and struggling to figure out how to care for your Asian loved ones and our community right now, I gently invite you to use this script.
Feel free to take what is useful and applicable. Leave what isn’t.

“Dear ___. You are loved, seen and I care about your well being. How can I be most supportive to you right now? No pressure to reply. Please be gentle with yourself. Here are some options:”
🧵-2
🌱Have you eaten yet? Let me Venmo you dinner.
🌱Would you like me to hold space and listen without comment or trying to problem solve?
🌱Do you have groceries, medication or other errands/needs? Send me a list and I’ll take care of it.
🧵-3
🌱Is there advocacy, legislation or mutual aid efforts you’d like me to take on?
🌱Want me to accompany you anywhere? Do you need a subway buddy?
🌱Is there anything I can do to make your home feel safer, comfier and more cozy?
🧵-4
🌱Would you like me to check in on you to make sure you got home safe?
🌱If you don’t feel safe taking public transportation may I get you a rideshare?
True safety comes from community and care. In this living nightmare all we have is each other.
