Dump the Hate
I started making dumplings in an effort to better connect with my Chinese roots. Now it has turned into a beautiful (and tasty!) form of activism.
Dump the Hate was started by Canadian food blogger and chef, Jannell Lo, in response to the rise of anti-Asian racism. She invited participants to make and sell dumplings to friends and family, and donate the proceeds to organizations supporting the Asian community.
The spike in anti-Asian hate crimes was weighing very heavily on me. Dump The Hate was a perfect opportunity for me to channel my energy, emotions and effort into a meaningful initiative. It's also a great way for people to turn their anti-racist intention into impact.
If you're in the Greater Toronto Area and would like to order some dumps, please contact me and place an order here.
In response to friends and family outside the GTA who have expressed interest in supporting the initiative but can't enjoy my dumps, I created this Go Fund Me page to collect donations.
Proceeds (minus the cost of ingredients) from my initial dumps benefitted two organizations
Formed by sex workers, social workers, legal and health professionals, Butterfly provides support to and advocates for Asian and migrant sex workers.
Fight Covid Racism tracks and responds to incidents of hate and violence against Asian Canadians.
To ensure support is spread across various communities and causes, all proceeds will now benefit the Stop Asian Hate Canada Fund.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support and generosity.
