KOREATOWN, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — In light of numerous recent attacks on Asian Americans across the nation, a group of local volunteers is helping Koreatown residents by offering safety and companionship if they need to go out.
Organizers call them Neighborhood Safety Companions, keeping a watchful eye on the community while doing their part to prevent anti-Asian violence.
“With everything happening, it’s just so frustrating and sad, so just trying to find ways I can allocate my time and energy helping our community,” volunteer Linda Joe told ABC7.
