Help Lincoln District Businesses with Repairs
Yesterday our neighbors, the beloved Tho Tuong BBQ and Phuong Beauty Salon had ALL of their storefront windows broken out. Both are longstanding businesses of Tacoma's Lincoln District. At this time we have no way of discerning whether this was an act of AAPI hate, but given the rise in hate crimes against AAPI during the past year, we cannot rule it out. As business owners gathered yesterday evening there were discussions about several other Lincoln District businesses that have been targeted with vandalism. In MOST cases these acts of hate crime are going unreported.
NOTE: These businesses are not asking for help. As neighbors, we want to support them and show them that Tacoma loves them and values their businesses. We would like to raise $1,000 each for Tho Tong BBQ, Phong Beauty Salon, and for one other Lincoln District Businesses that recently had ALL of their windows broken. (This business is also not asking for help, and have expressed that they do not want any attention.)
Thank you for your support.
