We stand in solidarity with the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in Georgia and everywhere.
We are horrified by the surge in hate crimes against Asian Americans during the past year. We are also horrified by the racist and misogynist motivations expressed by the shooter who murdered Xiaojie Tan, Daoyou Feng, Delaina Yaun, Paul Andre Michels, Soon Chung Park, Hyun Jung Grant, Yong Ae Yue, and Suncha Kim earlier this week.
At MCRCC, we know that gender and racial justice are foundational in realizing a future free of all types of violence. We will continue to educate, organize, and advocate to manifest this future.
We know that trauma and vicarious trauma devastates the mind, body, and spirit. Trauma disproportionately impacts immigrants and people of color. If you or someone you care about would like to talk, our 24-hour helpline is safe, confidential and anonymous. Please give us a call at (831) 375-4357 (HELP).
