Our stories


Tompkins County has a population of 100,000 residents, 10% of which are people of Asian descent. 


With Cornell University and Ithaca College located in Ithaca, NY, the City's Asian population is sizable (17%) for a small city of 30,000 residents.


Since the arrival of COVID-19, many Asians and Asian Americans are being racially attacked, assaulted, discriminated and profiled.  The elevated cases of hate crimes, locally and nationally, against people of Asian descent, has got to stop!!
