“GRACE” STOP THE HATE, IT CAN‘T WAIT

“Too many Asian Americans have been walking up and down the streets and worrying…feeling their safety and the safety of their loved ones are at stake. They’ve been attacked, blamed, scapegoated, and harassed. They’ve been verbally assaulted, physically assaulted, killed…hate and violence often hide in plain sight. And it’s often met with silence. That’s been true throughout our history, but that has to change—because silence is complicity. We cannot be complicit. We have to speak out. We have to act. President Biden, March 19, 2021 ©DREI GROUP STOP THE HATE, IT CAN‘T WAIT
