Considering the horrific racially motivated shootings that occurred against Asian women in Atlanta on March 16, we create a safe space for Asian-identifying people to connect, discuss, and grieve together as we processed those events. We acknowledge that this is not an isolated act of violence against Asians and Asian Americans. This is only the latest in a series of widespread violence, racism, and hate that has been inflicted upon our community for not just the past year but for centuries.
With this check-in, we gave a voice for people to share their thoughts, opinions, and feelings on what happened and what has been happening.
The session will be led by community leaders from Subtle Asian Life NYC, Project by Project New York, and Asian Creative Network NYC.
