Planning her pitches for the morning's editorial meeting, she checked her Instagram account and saw a message from someone she didn't recognize. Attached was a horrifying video in which men were beating and yelling racist slurs at an elderly Asian man who had been collecting cans in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. Lim felt compelled to investigate the story, help the man who \"looked freakishly like my dad,\" and bring the perpetrators to justice. Thus began Lim's four-years-and-counting quest to bring attention to the appalling rise of anti-Asian hate and violence in America. \u003ci\u003eAmplify!
