The Atlanta Spa shooting evoked the Stop Asian Hate movement in the US. This study examines what primary topics were covered in Twitter discourse in #StopAsianHate and which phases of collective symbolic coping emerged from the perspective of social representations theory. 21,474 tweets in #StopAsianHate on Twitter in the first weeks from May to August were analyzed by topic modeling using MDCOR. The results of this research showed that the phases of awareness and divergence emerged in the discourse, while the phases of convergence and normalization remained unidentified. The knowledge generated in this research may contribute to identifying the main topics that appeared in #StopAsianHate on Twitter, and it may also inform the supporters of the Stop Asian Hate movement about the following actions.
