We must all take the time to stand in solidarity with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community in light of the recent shooting in Atlanta by a white supremacist targeting and murdering six Asian women and the ongoing rise in racism and anti-Asian violence across the United States. It is still sadly ongoing, and furthermore we should always be working in solidarity and dismantling systems of oppression and harm, especially those of us who are white. Here are some links for resources:
