Since a pandemic has been declared over the new coronavirus, there has been an uptick in discrimination and hate crimes against Asian Americans. To help combat these crimes, Bonnie Lee Wolf, the president of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, or NAPABA, helped put together a video with other leaders of different bar associations calling for the discrimination to stop.
Wolf, who also serves in-house as associate vice president in the litigation and employment department at Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. in Columbia, Ohio, is asking attorneys to help people who experience discrimination by calling it out and helping victims find ways to report those incidents. Further, she said NAPABA has hosted webinars on "acts of hate against Asian Americans" and different parts of the law, and how to best practice during COVID-19.
