Corona, Queens is the most heavily COVID-impacted zip code in America. I can tell you 1st hand that many ppl are too scared to go to the hospital & continue to work bc of Trump’s xenophobic COVID response.

In that uncertainty, street vendors are stepping up and saving lives ⬇️ https://twitter.com/vendorpower/status/1248993821553307649
How is Trump’s response xenophobic?
- Targets Asian community in his rhetoric & TV ads, incl ads depicting Asian Americans as Chinese officials
- Late, little, or no translation of public health mandates into multiple languages
- Booting ITIN immigrant taxpayers from CARES relief
- Enacting the public charge rule (punishes immigrants for seeking medical attn, food assistance) despite knowing that COVID was on a trajectory to become a widespread public health crisis
- Allowing ICE to continue moving children into NYC & facilities with confirmed COVID cases
