Singer CL participated in a donation against Asian hate crimes, which are becoming more serious in the United States.
CL joins the'#StopAsianHate' campaign in May with Asian Heritage Month, along with Lyft, an American vehicle-sharing service, and several non-profit organizations.
Through this campaign, Rift has partnered with NAPCA, AACI, and Self Help for the Elderly, non-profit organizations that support Asian communities, to provide free, discounted boarding to those who are threatened by hate crimes across the United States including New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco to provide.
CL has decided to donate so that they can use their name in this campaign and help promote it.
In an interview with PAPER, which was conducted as part of the campaign promotion, CL said, "We all have the right to move safely and enjoy our daily lives. Asian hatred has existed since before the Pendemic, but now, to combat it together, There is a new urgency to go global,” he said.
“We hope that we can provide practical solutions and peace of mind to the AAPI (Asia-Pacific) community. I hope this campaign reminds the people in our community that they are being cared for." He revealed the reason for launching the campaign.
CL also posted "We stand together" with the hashtag'STOP ASIAN HATE' on their Twitter last March.He once called for solidarity among Asians.
