We offer a moment of solidarity

For Delaina Ashley Yaun 

For Paul Andre Michels

For Xiaojie Tan

For Daoyou Feng

For Julie Park

For Hyeon Jeong Park

And for two more people whose names have not yet been released.

We are devastated to witness this hatred and these attacks at the hands of white violence. White supremacy, misogyny, anti-Asian violence — it must stop. 

We stand in solidarity with the Asian community. We will continue to fight for accountability, justice, freedom. As Thamara Subramanian said, “Our liberation is bound together.” 

We offer a moment of solidarity for Delaina Ashley Yaun. For Paul Andre Michels. For Xiaojie Tan. For Daoyou Feng. For Julie Park. For Hyeon Jeong Park. Share on X
