A Community-Centered Response to Violence Against Asian American Communities
This March 16 will be the one year anniversary of the murders of eight people, including six Asian women massage workers at spas in our metro Atlanta community. As the organization that led the rapid response efforts to directly support victims, survivors, and their families, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta invites you to join our organization in remembrance.
By signing on to this letter you join us in decrying gender-based violence, white supremacy, and imperialism that is at the core of violence against Asian Americans, immigrants, and Black and Brown communities. By signing on, you join us in struggling for community safety and healing, for racial and economic justice, for stable housing, for access to quality health care, including mental health and education and a liveable wage, for the right to vote, for the right to organize, and for art and beauty in our neighborhoods. On this anniversary, together we remember the lives taken and the families who still struggle without their loved ones, and we recommit to expanding and deepening our community of care for all communities, beginning in Atlanta and spreading throughout the country and the world.
