Stop Asian Hate: Time to Create Change Together

Over the past year, the world has seen an increase in the number and publicization of hate crimes against our very own neighbors and friends, especially our Black and Asian community members. This violence and hatred must stop. Through awareness, reporting, and building community, we hope that it will stop.

OSG Analytics strives to make a positive difference through our work and how we present ourselves as a brand. Our CEO is an Indian immigrant to the US, who founded this company on the idea that focusing business decisions and processes around customers creates the most opportunities for growth and innovation. To best represent our commitment to our clients and their customers, we wanted to highlight important resources and actions for supporting the AAPI and larger Asian community, as a way of celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.

Today’s blog focuses on what we, as individuals, can do to stand against racism and crimes committed against our Asian and AAPI community members. We hope that this piece aids in the larger conversation to Stop Asian Hate and Stop AAPI Hate.
