San Leandro Asian American Violence Hotline

Here's where to call if you are a victim or a witness to a hate crime.

SAN LEANDRO, CA —The increase of violence against Asian Americans including last week's mass killing in Georgia has galvanized opposition to these race-targeted hate crimes.

The DA’s Office has created a Special Response Team as a result of the rise in crimes against Asian Americans. The DA's office wants to hear from you.
