Minnesota 8 (MN8) proposes to create the intergenerational response to hate project (the project), which will draw on the prominent intergenerational feature of asian american and pacific islanders (AAPI) and other immigrant communities. The project will utilize community assessment and relationship-building, training, data collection, and advocacy to support survivors and create replicable resources for other communities to do the same. The project will develop a model in minnesota that can be scaled for national replication, especially for similar culturally and linguistically specific midwestern cities. The project will utilize community assessment and relationship building, training, data collection, and advocacy to support survivors, thus increasing reporting of and community-based responses to hate violence, drawing on community strength, expertise, and resilience.MN8S goal will be to enhance awareness about the hate crimes/bias related incidents, educate the AAPI low income limited english proficient language community about the importance of reporting, and help them to prevent themselves from pervasive anti-asian hate crimes.modeling after the youth regenerate program, the regenerate II program will be targeted to members of youth families including parents, grandparents, and other extended including chosen family within the youth safety circle. To support the project goal of strengthening linkages between diverse community-based organizations and AAPI community members, MN8 will provide monthly programming to community members about hate crimes; createcommunity safety planning within families and across culturally and linguistically specific communities to proactively address hate incidents; create a guide for individual survivors on how to report the violence they have experienced to local community-based organizations and other government agencies; create a tool guide for how to address violence; and write and share a final report on best practices.
