Standing Together with Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Women in Our Community
We want to echo President Hanlon’s statement condemning the violence in the Atlanta area, which left eight people dead, including seven women, six of whom were of Asian descent.

We must also recognize that violence against women is a serious ongoing problem in this country.
