Counter Stories looks at three news stories and their impact on communities of color.

The spread of the coronavirus across more than 100 countries now qualifies as a global pandemic. The U.S. has over 1000 reported cases. Communities of color, especially Southeast Asians, are concerned about attacks based on a fear of coronavirus. This week, New York City has put in place a hate crimes task force to assist the NYPD in investigating coronavirus-related assaults against Asians.

We look at how the St. Paul teachers strike impacts other workers including teacher assistants, school bus drivers and canteen workers.

And in our tribute to Women’s History Month, we celebrate the achievements of women of color.
