We Protect Us: A Sign Making Event
March 25, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Free[From IPRC’s Newsletter:]
We’re horrified and grief-stricken by the racist and misogynistic murders in Atlanta this week, and also by the escalating violence against AAPI community members in the past year. We commit to support and fight alongside our AAPI neighbors and colleagues, and once again denounce white supremacy. We know that this racialized, gendered, and xenophobic hatred & violence has a long history both in our state and in our country, and that it disproportionately affects communities made vulnerable by oppressive, colonialist, and classist policies worldwide. We stand with elders, sex workers, immigrants, and Asian Americans. It’s not enough to speak up only when a tragedy occurs, and we take this moment to deepen in our resolve to build solid relationships on the foundations of justice and mutual care. We’ve partnered with APANO on a sign-making event this Thursday, March 25th from for anyone planning to attend the March to Stop Asian Hate taking place on Friday, March 26th at 4pm.
