A Burnaby university student is rallying people to donate blood as a response to a wave of anti-Asian hate crimes and discrimination. This week police launched investigations into two separate attacks against Asian people in the Lower Mainland, while last weekend hundreds protested anti-Asian hate and discrimination outside Vancouver's Art Gallery. People donate blood in Vancouver on Saturday as part of a drive to recruit donors who want to end anti-Asian hate crimes and discrimination in Canada. "And this could act as a stand against the discrimination that's been happening." It also condemns any form of anti-Asian hate, violence and bigotry and is committed to doing its part to end racism in Canada.
