The ANSWER Coalition stands in solidarity with the Asian community
in the midst of the horrific, racist and misogynist massacre that took
place in Atlanta on March 16th. Six Asian women were among the eight
shot to death at point blank range.
The alarming rise in hate crimes over the past year correlates to
an increasingly hostile U.S. foreign policy towards China. The
opportunistic scapegoating of China during the onset of the COVID-19
pandemic, coupled with the intensity by which China is deemed the
enemy and adversary of the United States, has driven a widespread
Sinophobic sentiment nationally. The Asian American community suffers
the brunt of the hatred fomented as a weapon of war. To date, there
have been 3,800 self-reported hate crimes against Asian Americans.
The mainstream media’s failure to label the Atlanta shooting as a
hate crime demonstrates the gross disregard and injustice that our
communities are facing. Racism is a sick symptom of a system that
profits from war and violence. And to put insult to injury, the cop
handling the case was found to be promoting anti-China
paraphernalia.
Join us on March 27th for a national day of action demanding an end
to anti-Asian racist violence, an end to violence against women and
and end to white supremacy now!
Please
make an urgently needed donation to the antiwar movement today. We can
only carry on this crucial work with contributions from supporters
like you.
