In Solidarity with our Asian Communities

We are heartbroken, outraged, and exhausted by the ongoing racist acts of violence against our Asian communities.

Since the start of the pandemic in Canada and the U.S., we have seen a huge rise in Anti-Asian racism at an alarming rate. It is crucial to note that these acts of violence occur at the intersection of both race and gender: Asian women have been twice as likely to be victims of hate crimes in the U.S., and in BC, Asian women make up 70% of reported incidents. For Asian women, racism and misogyny are intertwined.

We stand in solidarity with our Asian communities against Anti-Asian racism.
