For Immediate Release
National Director of Social Advocacy, Orlando Sanchez
Committee of Social Advocacy (COSA)
We are horrified and sickened by the violence that took place in Atlanta, Georgia, that left eight people dead, six of whom were Asian females. This event has highlighted and brought much-needed attention to the outburst of anti-Asian hate crimes and attacks that have taken place since the pandemic began. Our hearts are with the friends and families of those who were lost in this tragedy and all those who have been victimized along the way.
We call on our Brothers, community leaders, and our fellow communities of color to stand with us in solidarity with our friends and family in the Asian/Pacific Islander community. We must continue to uplift all marginalized communities to achieve a better tomorrow. We must act and support organizations like the Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC, Center for Pan Asian Community Services, Inc., and Stop AAPI Hate, which has built and established trust within the community.
En La Union Esta La Fuerza
