Our statement on the devastating events in Monterey Park. #StopAAPIHate

“After a day of celebration, we are waking up to a nightmare. This is devastating beyond words. We cannot imagine the pain that so many families are experiencing today. At Stop AAPI Hate, many people on our staff know this community well and feel connected to it. Our hearts are with the loved ones of all those whose lives were taken, those who were injured, and the countless others who were shaken by fear that no one should have had to experience.

Our community has faced so much tragedy and trauma over the last several years. This tremendous act of violence, on one of the most important days of the year for many Asian Americans, at a place where Asian American families come to gather and celebrate, is sending shockwaves through our community."

US says it’s “deeply concerned over China’s lack of transparency about its outbreak” esp. re: tracking & sequencing of variants. Yet CDC’s shift from COVID19 transmission levels to community levels, closure of mass testing sites, has obscured the true extent of spread here.
