Manjusha Kulkarni, civil rights attorney and cofounder of Stop AAPI Hate, fights discrimination by combining data, policy, and advocacy. When anti-Asian harassment surged during COVID-19, she helped create a reporting system to document incidents government agencies weren’t tracking, giving AAPI communities a stronger voice. Through the AAPI Equity Alliance, she champions political reform and civil rights protections, while campaigns like Spread AAPI Love highlight resilience and share stories of community strength. Kulkarni’s work shows how law, data, and storytelling can come together to challenge discrimination and build a more inclusive future.
