We are horrified by the senseless murder of eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, in Atlanta on Tuesday evening.

There is a long history of anti-Asian racism and violence in the U.S., and since the beginning of the pandemic, crimes targeting Asian-Americans have dramatically increased.

We have no tolerance for racist rhetoric, nor do we condone anti-Asian hate in any form.

We are determined to be part of the solution as an ally to the Asian-American Pacific Islander communities. We are committed to creating a just and equitable future.
