In the wake of the horrible tragedy in which eight people lost their lives to a lone shooter, six of which were of Asian descent, we stand in solidarity with the AAPI community. Hate crimes against Asian individuals has risen 149% in major cities of America. Anti Asian Hate Crimes is not new but can be traced back hundreds of years in our country’s history. We recognize this event as a grime reminder of the sins of our past and lament all actions of hate today.
