To all of our community members who are hurting and angry, please take time and space. Be easy on yourselves and each other. We will do the same.
To our teammates, thank you for checking in. We are grateful. Please continue to work with us + each other to end violence against Asian and Pacific Islander women, girls and gender non-conforming communities. Tonight we are talking about the Asian women massage parlor workers who were killed - but we work for all of us. In solidarity.
To everyone else, we hold the entire racist and misogynist system + culture accountable (and that’s only the tip of the iceberg). We are not your jokes, your vacation spots, or your toys.
Take care, community. We need you. End this violence.
In pain and outrage, AAPI Women Lead
