On Saturday,desi sexy aunty hd sex video March 15, Anti-Asian Hate Crimes Coalition and Asian Youth Center (Stop Hate Program) will be hosting “Remembering Atlanta Spa Shootings, Local Asian Hate Crimes and Asian Communities Challenges” from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Rosemead Community Recreation Center, 3936 N. Muscatel Ave., Rosemead.
Elected officials, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and community leaders will commemorate the fourth anniversary of the deadly shootings at Atlanta-area spas. The murder of eight people, six of them of Asian descent, highlighted the issue of violence and other hate crimes against Asians in the U.S.
“Our country is facing what the rest of the nation is experiencing, the continuing increase in hate crimes, and we are ramping up our programs to meet the challenge,” said Robin Toma, executive director of the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations. “However, it’s critical to recognize that the growth in reported hate crimes is partly due to the success of our LA vs Hate system, which urges every victim of hate crime to report to us and gain free services and support.
“Connecting with more people and their communities who refuse to remain silent by reporting hate, and building intergroup solidarity, is an essential part of our strategy for ending hate.” (https://lacounty.gov/ 2024/12/11/highest-total-of- hate-crimes-ever-reported/)
