From Oakland to Atlanta, New York City to Los Angeles, and in cities across the United States, violent attacks against Asian Americans have skyrocketed and, in several tragic cases, turned deadly. Many of these assaults have been against the most vulnerable in society: the elderly and women. The murder by a gunman of six women of Asian descent at three Atlanta-area spas reprehensibly put into focus the intersectional ways in which racism and misogyny objectify and dehumanize. In response to this horrific crime and the nearly 4,000 reported incidents of anti-Asian racism in the U.S. over the past year, the Asian American community and allied organizations have mobilized to demand action.
