We want to acknowledge the violent loss of 8 lives in Atlanta on March 16, and to reiterate our respect and support for the Asian American Pacific Islander community and Asian immigrants in the US. We mourn but also stand in solidarity with the AAPI community and condemn the use of anti-Asian rhetoric that has spurred the astronomical rise in violence against AAPI communities and individuals across the U.S.  Local to Global Justice will continue striving to build bridges of compassionate understanding and respect across cultures and communities, and to fight white supremacy in all its destructive forms.
