Like many people, AFSC staff were devastated to learn of the mass shooting in Atlanta—which took the lives of eight people, including six women of Asian descent. The killings come amid a sharp rise in reports of anti-Asian violence and harassment across the U.S. during the pandemic.
Today, it’s as critical as ever that we do all that we can to stand with the Asian community and confront anti-Asian violence—and all forms of racism and white supremacy.
